Ryan Reynolds has been hitting it out of the park lately and this movie is no exception. Yeah it's predictable and yeah it's a typical teen sci-fi flick but you know what, it's a lot of fun and Ryan looks like he's having a blast making it and that's what matters in the end.

2024-08-14 16:17:49 +0000 UTCI saw this when it was released. I enjoyed it enough and never thought I would revisit it. But I still enjoyed it the second time around. Great reaction KL. You picked up on Young Adam and his Ryan Reynold’s mannerisms right away. You made it fun to watch. Physical time travel, the way it’s portrayed in movies, will never be possible. The Earth spins at 1,600 km an hour. Then the Earth spins around the sun at approximately 30 km a second. Our best guess is our solar system appears to be spinning around 200 km a second and our galaxy around 210 km a second. All that is to say, if you were to travel back in time at a fixed location, just 10 seconds, you would pop into the vacuum of space about 500 km before the Earth has arrived at that location. And I didn’t even get into the speed of universal expansion, which is slowing down. Physical time travel will require knowledge and technology to calculate how to travel simultaneously/instantaneously in time and space. I read A Wrinkle in Time when I was 9 and have remained fascinated with Einstein’s theory on general relativity, quantum mechanics, and Astro physics far more than someone who ultimately did not become a scientist should. Anyway, it was fun to revisit this one and the major draw for me was the 13 Going on 30 reunion. Looking forward to the next one!

2024-08-14 04:37:22 +0000 UTCim glad you enjoyed it as much as i did, and i agree with the story being predicable, and that it doesn't really matter. its one of the reasons im never mad if a story is simple, the movie maybe about timetravel but its not really about timetravel, the big theme in this is grief, and the family dynamics and how grief can effect that. i think this movie nailed that theme, im so glad they didnt undo the dad's death, i think it fit, it made it all mean a little more. also yea the kid did amazing at being little ryan haha

2024-08-14 04:21:47 +0000 UTCThe link has to be a YouTube link. If the movie itself is not on YouTube, just toss a link to the movie trailer or some related video about the movie. It's just needed to confirm the exact movie and year.

2024-08-13 18:04:53 +0000 UTCI was looking at Reactr, but it says it needs a media link. I tried Amazon, but it said something to the effect that was unavailable. Not sure how to make the request.

2024-08-13 18:04:01 +0000 UTCOh remember enjoying this a fair bit. I look forward to revisiting. I think that this was the film that I remember the young cast member was doing full Deadpool 2 script recitals in interviews, when they were talking about how brilliant he was during the casting process. I imagine he must have been so excited to work with Ryan.

2024-08-13 17:43:34 +0000 UTCI loved this movie so much when it came out, and when I watched it with my dad we both got a little emotional during some moments. I won't be able to watch this reaction until I'm home but I really hope you enjoyed it :)
