My Review :

This Sci-Fi romance film was something I wouldn't have expected to be extraordinary, I kind of kept my hopes down for the entire film. But after watching the movie, it felt... decent? good? I was confused at that point. However, what I can say is that the romance was implied pretty strongly on the main character. Spending 10 years to save a girl you literally just started dating with? Overall, I could say this movie is above average romance movies I 've ever seen, and probably could be good movie that is telling a sci-fi romance story.


The Verdict :

I can recommend it if you like Sci-Fi or romance, go ahead. However, if you are a critic that hates romance and time traveling. Then please, do not watch this.
