I love time travel stories and this one was good. The book I know has rave reviews. I've not read it before seeing the movie so I can't compare. I do think the book would feel bigger with the suspense but I did like the suspense towards the end of this movie... waiting to see how it ends. You can't repeat that on a second viewing however so not sure how this would stand up to repeats. And this is in no way Eric Bana's fault in terms of his performance in this role but my own comic book brain could not shut out thoughts of the Incredible Hulk every time he time travelled and had to find new clothes. Don't make him angry....
