What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tony Scott tries to combine action, science fiction, romance, and explosions into one movie, but the time travel conceit might be too preposterous and the action falls apart under scrutiny.

It's a hard movie to hate, just one that's far too easy to forget. Go to Full Review
David Jenkins Time Out 12/30/2006
Take away a couple of neatly staged action sequences and you're left with a callously measured slab of US jingoism that deals with the most horrific human tragedies in the most lunk-headed and insulting way possible. Go to Full Review

It's Denzel himself, ambling through the nonsense with just the right degree of twinkling insouciance, who keeps you watching. Good fun. Go to Full Review

If one can get past the dubious technical details of the setup, the competent acting should take care of the rest of the entertainment. Go to Full Review

4/5
Sounds a bit dodgy, huh? Not when an in-form Denzel Washington is involved. He's the glue that keeps this absurdly compelling thriller together as it mashes up the present and the past to intoxicating effect. Go to Full Review

4/5
Although a certain amount of disbelief suspension is a necessity, the script tries exceptionally hard, and succeeds, in building a credible case. Go to Full Review

Alex B @AlexBioni 5d See You Yesterday Man, I love a good old Tony Scott film. The guy was able to start this movie with barely any dialogue and visually tell the story without saying a word. The camera work is excellent, followed by fantastic practical effects. I was locked in after those first 10 minutes. About 35 minutes in, the movie introduces an idea that completely changes the direction of the story. It is not the most realistic concept, but I did not care because I was already invested. I was glued to the screen. The acting was great, Denzel was classic Denzel, and the supporting cast helped make the story feel grounded and real. Some things become a little too convenient to keep the story moving, and a few plot choices are a little strange. The science behind everything can also get confusing and convoluted at times. I can understand if this movie does not work for everyone, but for me it did. Tony Scott delivered another entertaining film, and I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish See more Dogcat T @Dadogcat Jun 27 I really can’t believe this is rotten. It’s a great movie See more Keith B @Okbullard Jun 27 I thought it was very well done and come on, it's Denzel. It was a little hard to follow the time shifting explanations but I still really enjoyed it. The ending was excellent as well. I watched it probably 15 or more years ago and I'm so glad I gave it another look. See more Jalvzz .. @jalvzz Apr 5 Not really my type of plot See more Alan T @Alan527 Mar 26 It's a very good film. But the plot became predictable once the strange part of the story gets revealed. It still kept me on the edge of the seat though, so it served the purpose. See more Jesse R. @RT95323919 Mar 19 Not a great movie, but if you suspend your disbelief and let Denzel do his thing, man, is it a fun ride. See more Read all reviews
