I would say that the primary thing wrong with the premise is the ability to travel back in time but that's just me.
And no, I haven't seen the movie.
Sadly, I watched it. Like many movies nowadays it’s premise is that people on the right divide the nation. In this movie the solution is to kill them so there’s no more division. It’s pathetic and badly done.
I’ve asked people if they could would they go back in time and kill hitler as a child to prevent WWII. It seems so simple.
The problem is that we learned that Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler did, and for all we know, we could have ended up in a world war with the USSR. Instead, they were our ally, and they and Germany whittled each other down.
And then there is the meme in the movie that these “evil” people are just like you and me, and indistinguishable from everyone else. The pianist, the bus driver, and the nut in a dumpy house in the middle of nowhere.
Etc.
That all being said, it was a good story and kept you interested. It borrowed a theme from the science fiction book, “Hyperion”. It allowed me to figure out the “backwards in time” concept with the assassin.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was the link of the “bad guys” to our founding fathers. Other than that, it was a pretty good time travel science fiction movie.
I liked The 12 Monkeys too.
The movie is a leftist “woke” fantasy, nothing more.
It’s lame.
Next movie: transgender goes back in time, kills Trump while he is in high school, and returns to a future that is like the Garden of Eden.
Hollywood expressing this type of blind hatred for traditional Americans (via a made-up BS concept of rampant white supremacy) is going to backfire on them with whites and blacks.
When I was young White Democrats in the South would use similar hate tactics against blacks. Today White Liberal Elites use these tactics against us. Every powerless person and group will ‘catch’ what they’re up to...
This thinly describe hatred will backfire on Hollywood.
I suffered through Airforce One the other night. At the end of the movie, it was announced that the president survived the crash of the plane and was safe. The press pool jumped up and cheered and I thought, “Wow! No way that would happen today!”
The reason the psychotically paranoid are dangerous--paranoid schizophrenics, for example--is because they actually believe that their delusions are real and will act accordingly, because they believe that they must defend themselves. They're fully capable of killing innocent people because of the delusion that they project onto the innocent, falsely believing that the innocent are a threat to them.
This is one of the most dangerous things about the mass psychosis that is "the left" ("progressives," "liberals"--the name keeps changing): Much of the delusional system is paranoid.
Another dangerous thing is that some of "the left" cynically exploit and encourage such paranoia to use to their advantage, knowing full well what they're doing, unconcerned and even sometimes sadistically energized by the possible consequences.
Aren’t the Obamas running the movies on Netflex?
A. I despise scary movies.
B. I despise science fiction.
C. I despise time travel movies.
D. Visual can go straight to your soul and your brain through your eyes so you have to closely monitor what goes in.
E. Evil is real and is to be resisted, not embraced.
I then wrote an article about it that I cannot link here, but my main takeaways are the following:
It is the worst form of propaganda, hence my reference to 1984.
Furthermore, it is rooted in the worst form of hypocrisy. The perceived mastermind of the remote-controlled killing operation is Naveen and he states the following near the end of the film:
“Imagine that you could erase the American Civil War. How would you do it? You kill Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, all the Confederate and Union leaders and that might not be enough to erase an idea. Maybe we have to kill the people who made them who they are....who gave them their moral and political beliefs. Friends, fathers, mothers, grandparents. How far back would you have to go to snuff out the spark that lit the fuse? Huh? If you eliminated the right combination of people, one by one, til you got to the exact start of it, til you got to the one...that undoes it all. You could reshape the future. And that’s what she’s doing. And I won’t let you stop her.”
The hypocrisy is dripping, because the greatest danger they have portrayed in the film are patriots. If you watch this film, you must do so without distraction. The subliminal messaging that patriots are evil is peppered throughout the film in defense of their actions, including books on the Founders and the ubiquitous AR-15. Had the protagonist truly wanted to "un-tell" an evil story...they would have sent her back to 1920s Germany and eliminated the source of the white supremacy rather than focusing on a group of American patriots. But then again, that wouldn't fulfill the motivations of the producers, now would it?
In my article I ramble on about other areas of concern but there is one more that all reviews fail to take notice:
Time travel would more-than-likely have originated from a government-funded project, cutting edge "experimental" technology that it obviously represents (considering the nature of the device from which the protagonist exits upon her arrival and must thereupon enter again to return).
So when watching this film, bear in mind that although the film portrays the key protagonists prosecuting the murders as part of a "group"...they are, in all likelihood, fulfilling the goals of a government-run operation.
For reference, here's another quote from the film's dialogue, quoted of its protagonist Rya:
“It fed on anger. It spread through fear. It made monsters out of men. Until even the ordinary were broken...one by one. The voice that gave birth to a movement turned a small crack into a great divide. It drowned out the best of us and it amplified the worst. So we found a way to silence it. We found a way to undo the damage, to disconnect the dots. I volunteered to un-tell the story. I came back to erase an idea, because some thoughts are meant to be buried...some before they even begin.”
All Conservatives should watch this film to fully-grasp the lengths to which media - and their leftist supporters - are going to project political messaging of a biased nature. If anyone here knows of a site which tracks "propaganda films" of this nature, I'd appreciate seeing a URL. Somebody has GOT to be tracking this type of propaganda...
It sounds like an incitement to mass murder. Perhaps all involved with this movie should be red flagged.
It is the only wet dream the left has to console their impotence.
Watched it.
Like so many new movies/TV shows, it devolved into white supremacists as the villains. YAWN.
I gave it a Thumbs Down because of the above and because it seemed to be sanctioning outright murder of opposition leadership. It was a rehash of the old ‘you would kill Hitler {or insert favorite evil guy} if you could go back in time.’
That seems to be a new recurring theme — sanctioned murder is okay. The Purge movies/TV series are similar. I watched about 5 minutes of the first Purge, turned it off, and have had no desire to watch any of the follow-ups.
