I'm generally a fan of the genre and I did watch the whole thing play out in hopes the positive feedback this movie generally recieves wasn't for nothing... It's for nothing. There is no payoff for buying into the main characters irrational actions.

If you want to see a time loop movie just rewatch Triangle would be my advice. You're welcome.

Yes. Watch only one time loop movie, because.......... just because.

I agree, Agony.

I thought the same thing. The film basically repeats itself over and over again. A lot of time loop films will make this really interesting, I usually love that sort of thing. But with Timecrimes it felt like I was just sitting through the same events waiting for something to happen. I don't think it's a bad film. But it's nothing groundbreaking.

Its no Back To The Future, but a well thought out time travel movie that is much smaller & only affects the lives of 3 people (was there more? Its been years since I've seen it). I'll say I LIKED it quite a bit!

I completely agree with this, I was waiting for something "more" to happen. I sought this out based on the director doing Colossal and while this was watchable, I just really hated the main character (although thinking now, probably why Anne Hathaway's character was unlikeable as well).

Not sure if it was intentional but the actions that the main character took just didn't make sense, such as wrapping his whole head in a bandage. Wasn't clear if he was doing this because of his head injury or whether he believed at that moment he needed to do that to ensure the loop was maintained (like he did with threatening the woman to strip, using his hands as pretend binoculars etc).
