Watched
Timecrimes on The Penguin's above recommendation...
... And I thought...
meh...
To be honest, I really didn't like the main character, didn't particularly sympathize with him, and thought that most of his actions were odd, rude, or just plain stupid.
Also, I guess it's hard watching it after it has been compared to
Triangle because I had a pretty clear vision of the movie and where it was going... So the outcome was honestly predictable in the end...
With
Triangle, though I knew it was going in a certain direction, I thought that it was a bit more imaginative than
Timecrimes and ultimately more clever. Plus at least I sympathized with the main character in
Triangle; I couldn't stand anyone in
Timecrimes for the most part.
I can see why people would like it, but it just didn't do it for me - I've seen the same concept done better (
Triangle,
12 Monkeys).
2/5.
