Deja vu was the first movie we saw today. After watching it I thought it was a fairly good movie. After watching The Fountain it was even better. I like time traveling stories, which is a bonus. Denzel Washington is certainly a good actor, which helped the movie. The story was surprisingly coherent for a time travel movie – most of them have not just bad science, but also an inconsistent story that just leaves you confused. In this case I’m not entirely sure the story was consistent, but it was good enough to hang together without being distracting, and the science was at least believable (as much as anything involving time travel can be).
Being a Jerry Bruckheimer film there was plenty of action and exploding, which I of course enjoy. I’m not sure how Val Kilmer ended up looking so fat in this, but he did. His performance was fine though, so whatever.
Overall I would rate it 3.5 out of 5, I guess. It wasn’t a great movie, but it was slightly better than average.
