    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When the barkeep sits down at the typewriter for the first time, there is a copy of "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein next to the typewriter. Heinlein is the author of the short story "All You Zombies" on which the movie is based.
    • Goofs
      The movie is set in an alternative universe where space travel in the 1960s was more advanced than in our world, and where New York was subject to a wave of terror attacks in the 1970s. There are agents patrolling the timeline, and may have left something behind. Most apparent anachronisms and factual errors can be excused by this notion.

    Requires complete concentration worth it
    I have watched this movie twice the story appears complex so when I first watched I was paying attention but was also trying to work out the connections of the characters and in doing so missing small points. The story is quite unique and at first hard to understand but as you do it highlights the imagination of the writers and the complexity of how they wrote the story I loved it as I love movies that make you think and this one never stops making you think! I don't want to explain my meaning as I don't wish to spoil the story or your entertainment in figuring it out. The acting is great and I am sure you will enjoy the movie maybe your smarter than me and everything falls into place on first viewing either way it is entertaining.
