Slow burner - falls short

As a fan of the genre, I'm starting to believe that I've probably seen the majority of time travel/time loop movies that are worth watching. I stumbled across this one from an IMDB list and observed the mixed reviews but decided to give it a go and make up my own mind.

The first 30 minutes were utterly boring and I was close to switching off, but brief moments of potentially interesting activity just about kept me in. There's lots of long and dragged out 'dialogue free' scenes of the lead gormlessly walking about, which fail to build any sort of tension - this kind of thing only works in a film that is actually good. I also wondered if one of the crew had some kind of 'foot fetish' as there seems to be lots of unneccesary focus and shots on the leads bare feet, over and over again. Weird.

Once you're passed the halfway mark there's some mild plot advancements and just about enough suspense to spark ones interest, but there's no denying that the whole thing is just rather flat and mundane. The lack of budget and poor script shows as no actual time travel with the character you are following occurs, nor is there any significant insight in to her 'future self'. We follow the same character, on the same timline and nothing else from the 'other side' is fully explored - just infrequent reminders that some sort of time travel has accured in the background..

The ending is just as flat as the rest of the film and although I didn't find the plot overly complex or hard to fiollow (due to the amount of these type of films I've seen) I cetainly couldn't be bothered to give it any after thought or even try and figure out anything that I might have missed.

A low impact, mediocre film that falls short. Just about worth a watch for time travel fanatics but will leave many underwhlemed. The five stars is generous, only based on the fact that there's a lot worse out there.

Not good enough for me.

If you're planning watching this one you can't be too picky. Linda Hamilton "the big name of this movie" is just poster filling and only appears a couple minutes, Zach Avery on the other hand has a bigger role and is annoying to watch. To me he's basically a mediocre actor, at least in this movie where his bad acting shows. Not the whole cast is bad but there are for sure no future Oscar winners here. The story itself is a bit complicated to follow and is a bit far fetched even for a sci-fi. I can't say I really enjoyed this one, just sat through the story waiting for it to end.

The time traveller's curve

Was drawn into seeing 'Curvature' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre as said many times. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive.

'Curvature' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better. 'Curvature' is very weak with a lot of big problems. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst. There is very little to recommend here but it's not completely irredeemable.

The best thing about 'Curvature' is the sets/scenery, that look like a lot of care and time went into constructing them. Rather than limited and drab, they have elaborate atmosphere.

Music is similarly atmospheric, and avoids being over-bearing or too much of one mood, the sound isn't too cheap either. Despite being criminally underused, considering she is the most well-known cast member, Linda Hamilton tries her best.

Rest of the acting however is pretty negligible, with a particularly lifeless performance from Zach Avery while Lynsey Fonesca came over as one note and ill at ease. The whole cast are ill served though by very clichéd and sketchy characterisation and a script that felt incomplete and with a lot of ramble and cheese.

Despite the sets impressing, much of the filming doesn't with it being far too obvious that there were budget limitations and that it was made in haste. The editing is sloppy and the camera work didn't seem particularly focused too often, although there are moments of slickness. The story doesn't really get off the ground (the direction likewise) and clarity is not a strong suit, it is not easy to follow at times and it is rife with ridiculousness and implausibility too glaring to ignore. Do have to agree too that the ending is terrible and doesn't make sense.

In conclusion, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox
