Review of About Time (2013) by Dc E — 20 Mar 2014
"About Time" 10 Scale Rating: 7.5 (Very Good) ...
The Good: Very well done and well acted, "About Time" is touching, funny, and sentimental without being sappy. Domhnall Gleeson was excellent in a lead role and Bill Nighty was amazing (as usual) as his father. The characters are fleshed out and you easily grow attached to them. One of the more surprising films of 2013.
The Bad: What prevents the film from being truly great is the inconsistencies found in the story. Early on you are given very clear cut rules for time travel, but more than halfway through the film those rules are inexplicably tossed aside. I can overlook something like that to an extent, but in this case it is so blatant and frequent that I just can't ... especially after they went to such lengths to make the rules clear to us.
