Speaking of plot holes.. Don't watch this movie. This is a time travel movie gone wrong. Seriously, there are so many things wrong with the time travel logic that it hurts to watch this movie.

The multiple universe thing is already a major part of what's wrong with this movie.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but one obvious thing is, in the future time travel is heavily policed but gangsters found a way to time travel without being noticed. What do they do with it? They send people to the past to kill. Seriously, you can apparently send as many people to want to the past, but all you do is send people back that you want dead? That's so unimaginative. Even Biff thought to send an almanac to his past self to get rich... Biff of all dumb people.

actually, i found this movie not bad.... once again, watching a fiction piece and thinking too hard about plots is a recipe for disaster. you poke at any plot hard enough and you can find stuff to pick at... i thought it was decent. The acting itself was at least 100x better than hunger games if you're still hung up on that...
Edit: i just realised that i wrote "you poke at my plot hard enough" lol

The problem was, I wasn't even thinking too hard about it. The holes were just that obvious.

But yes, I did find Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a very decent acting job trying to act like a young Bruce Willis.

beats me, but he's fast becoming one of my favourite actors. Who would've thunk that the punk kid from 3rd rock from the sun would become a mega movie star...

Nothing wrong with steel. Steel is real.
Fixie on the street is just too hipster though.

a lot of critics said that he was the best actor in 3rd rock. they also said that about the guy from that 70's show, but he was only in spiderman 3 from all i remember.
