Rewind (2013)

This is How Movies Should Be Made

Strong and Moving!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Great movie! The end was a bit puzzling at first, but then another review noted that the criminal who would have been killed was spared and became a war hero. The military man may have been him, or someone who knew about him and has figured out the truth about that guardian angel. Anyway, when he dresses for frigid weather and lands in another time, there are caves with animal drawings on them. After having witnessed what happened to New York, the military man despaired of humanity being a force for good on earth and went back to the Caves of Lascaux to eliminate the few humans living at that time. So all goes dark in New York and the rest of the world which never came to be, but was spared the destruction that humans created.

Shows lots of promise and is something new and exciting with the whole time travel theme. Come on syfi do the decent thing and have some nuts and put this show into production!!!! here is a brief description of the show : Revolves around a team of military field operatives and civilian scientists who must use untested technology to travel back in time to alter past events in order to change the future and avoid a devastating terrorist attack.Stars :Shane McRae ... Shaun Knox Jennifer Ferrin ... Dr. Lyndsay Bryce Robbie Jones ... Danny Keon Mohajeri ... Charlie Keisha Castle-Hughes ... Priya Jeff Fahey ... Ellis Kenneth Welsh ... President Matthew Bennett ... John Malcolm Paulino Nunes ... General Randall Webb Melanie Scrofano ... Jessica Knox David Cronenberg ... Rourke

*** POSSIBLE spoiler concerning events at end of first show. ***The Time Machine, Time Tunnel, Quantum Leap, 7 Days, Enterprise, just to name a few. I am a sucker for time travel stories and thoroughly enjoyed REWIND.The premise may not be the most logical, but I would hope most viewers would understand that this is about people and events, NOT about the method. There is no such technology (so we are to believe) so does it really matter how time travel is initiated? The characters (especially NASA) are solid and a good mix (though the General needs a little more military "polish" to be believable.)There are enough elements in REWIND to make an excellent series though I would have thought that almost all viewers would twig to the fact that the military gentleman preparing for the cold environment window MUST have come from some future time specifically for this event.Really looking forward to the next installment and hopefully, a long running series.

While I understand it is quite difficult to create a plausible sci-fi story, especially when it involves time travel, this show's plot holes were just ridiculous. The "time machine" itself, communication with the present, the explanation and simulation of the ripple effect, or practically any line of dialogue, that is relevant to the physics or logic of the time travel enterprise in this show, is just ridiculous. I found myself cringing, trying to find meaning or sense in the characters' conversations, only to come to the conclusion, that the producers put no effort into making any of the story plausible to a moderately intelligent human being. The camera is decent and the acting isn't awful, considering the terrible script. The story is one that we've seen many times before. Overall judging by the pilot, I would not recommend this show. It's downright insulting to any fan of Donnie Darko or Butterfly Effect and honestly even Hot Tub Time Machine shows time travel with more sense.
