This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I'm reviewing this because even though I saw this film years ago, the emotion and theme has still stayed with me, and revives itself every time I see the title. I won't give a description, I'll tell you the feeling. We all seem to want what we can't have. For a love to grow, to a point of obvious discover, only to find that you can't reach out and touch it only intensifies the wanting. The "time travel" in this picture is well done, in my opinion. Not that it follows every rule, but that it makes the movie. Reeves and Bullock are great together, and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The lead up to the end in wonderful and spoke to my heart the strength of the love that slowly grew throughout this movie between two, not total, strangers. Enjoy it with someone you love, or want to.

The story is quite refreshing and unlike other movies I've seen. This is a remake based on a Korean movie titled 'Il Mare', which I am intrigued about now. Asian films are generally more emotion/character based than Hollywood films (I feel), as not everything is over dramatized. Well actually Korean dramas tend to over dramatize the staring which I find very cheesy but I'll have to watch that one to be able to compare both versions of the film.Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves did great in this film. Bullock is probably my favourite actress so there's that. The chemistry between them was so cute as well. Even though Bullock and Reeves are not actually in the same scene for a lot of the film they portrayed the bond that their characters have on screen really well. I feel like the chemistry they had when they weren't together was much better than when they were together. The ending scene just seemed a bit off.The editing too was well done. From the putting together of the film, to the soundtrack and the order of the scenes. The visual effects was a little outdated (but can't blame them since this did come out in 2006), but I could tell when she was in the bus/train that it was a green screen.Read more movie reviews at: championangels.wordpress.com

Well well well...a movie which, before seeing it, seemed awesome. After seeing it, it seems awesome but it lacks logic. Absolutely lacks logic. The plot is great, the characters are vivid and you are almost living their drama...but there are so many plot holes that you can get a nightmarish headache. If just someone had put a little more effort in writing the script, this movie would have turned a whole lot better. I mean, everybody knows that this can't really happen - but even if it can't, make it look like it could. Make the movie seem realistic. Make it look like you aren't only trying to tell a ''love story'' but also a story worth making you think. All in all, the only good reason to watch this is because your girlfriend/wife tells you to. Otherwise, go watch something better which doesn't cause you a headache because of the lack of logic.

The movie really builds a good story and serves nice twists which wrap themselves well with the ending. Like Frequency (2000) there's no real time travel since the different time characters link one another through the time traveling mail. The story may just end right then and there when Alex sees Kate on the train but the creators decided to trade that with an even greater twists. I really like how the movie puts the circular story loop that ends with the beginning. And that gimmick makes it a classic Valentine's Day movie for me. The acting overall is quite nice. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are reunited after their old blockbuster hit Speed all those years ago. This movie sure shows that the chemistry between them from that old movie is still a helpful thing to make this movie great.
