A movie with a great story - I liked this movie for it s story. I felt a lot of empathy for the character and there s a lot of great humor in the story and even for a guy the romantic part made my wife like the movie too.It s got a great story to it, and as long as you re not looking for a Pirates or Die Hard kind of blockbuster you won t be disappointed. I really liked this movie and have watched it about a dozen times over the last year.
Time Loop Fun - This film is an absolute undiscovered gem. It is a science fiction/romance/comedy/thriller. As ungainly as this sounds it works remarkably well. Jonathan Silverman and Helen Slater make a very nice couple. Martin Landau is appropriately shifty and the whole film breezes along very nicely. It is remarkable the rubbish that gets released on DVD while terrific films like this have to wait. Buy this and escape for 90 minutes.
I want this on DVD - Conceptually similar to ",Groundhog Day",, this made-for-cable movie goes that film one better. In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray s character lived the same day over and over, and learned lessons in life in the process. In 12:01 the hero witnesses a murder. Once he realizes that he is living the same day over and over, he spends each recurring day trying to prevent the murder. I found this film thoroughly entertaining. I hope that it will become available on DVD.
A Clever, Funny and Tender Story. - I am a fan of Science Fiction and I disagree with all the negative comments below. This story was never meant to be as heavy as 2001 or even Ground Hog Day. The actors are not preforming Shakespeare. They do a very good job in this light drama, perhaps more a kin to a tv movie. Helen Slater gives a very subtle and nuanced portrayal of a woman who is deeply lonely and yet still open to a man who sincerely cares about her. The story focuses on the characters and their interaction and does not spend an inordinate amount of time on explaining the cause of the time displacement. This is one of the best science fiction movies I have ever seen because it is honest, simple, and done with care. I doesn t bother me that it obviously had a low budget. Besides, the whole thing essentially takes place on one floor of an office building.
SAVE YOURSELVES! - Oh my god! This movie seriously needed first aid! The acting was... not convincing, to say the least. I suspect the producers smoked the budget. Unsalvageable in all respects, and a waste of space and time, oh the irony.
