Review of TiMER (2009) by Donnie G — 03 Jan 2015

Cute, and with an intriguing, albeit fanciful premise that is commonly brought up. The ending was ridiculously bittersweet, and on one hand, it's certainly more realistic (the irony!); it was also unexpected, because I had expected it to take the sweeter route of "screw it, a plastic watch can't dictate love" - an idea I originally had not favoured, considering the very premise went against it (although, hey, 2% failure rate), but as the movie went on, I found myself hoping for that outcome more and more.

There's an unexpected disappointment, and whilst the end is suitably poignant, it feels just a little shoe-horned in.
