Absolutely the worst movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

As I said on the title, this movie can be placed under the category of mystery but definitely not of horror or thriller. I have to admit that it has a good story; especially when the year it has been filmed is considered. I guess the main reason I didn't like it that much is that recently we saw really good movies or series (i.e. Dark) which discuss "the time" issue in terms of whether it is linear or cyclical, we can make any change on it or not etc. Briefly, I can say that if you are interested in a movie telling a time issue and doing so without the perspective of Hollywood, give a chance to Timecrimes.

I liked the story, even if it had obvious production flaws, but not everybody can do Hollywood like films. The problem is that it is just a gimmick, with a few characters which don't really evolve in any way. The hallmark of a good story is that something changes, becomes more. In Timecrimes everybody stays the same, even when faced with time travel and multiple versions of themselves. That was disappointing.Also, since there are basically four people in the entire movie, if feels like a play, with the revelatory twists that someone expects from an episode of Outer Limits, not from a full feature film.Bottom line: interesting, low budget, way too long for its content. Maybe worth a watch, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Timecrimes is the best time travel film I have ever seen. Admittedly, I've never been a huge fan of the genre. I often find them silly and too unbelievable. I understand that the viewer has to suspend disbelief in order to appreciate a time travel movie, since time travel is not a reality in our world, but I feel like so many time travel movies involve the absurd aspect of an individual gaining information from his future self, who had only gained that knowledge which he was then able to pass it on because he had already learned it…from himself. It was fine in Bill and Ted when their future selves taught them how to play their instruments, because that was a dumb comedy. They only put that in the movie because it was so stupid that it was funny. But I've been seeing it in so many serious movies lately and it makes me sick.But Timecrimes is so well done and so well acted that it never feels contrived, although it very much is. It's a fun, fast-paced, suspenseful thrill ride that's complex enough to keep you thinking and keep you guessing but easy enough to follow. And the setting and the unsuspecting characters are very fun and feel like they're out of real life. These are not the people or the places that we'd expect from a time travel film. They're the characters and the setting that would perhaps feel more appropriate in a boring drama film. And at the start of the movie they're all set up and ready for their drama, but then things take a turn when one of them stumbles upon a time machine.I realized after the first fifteen minutes that I was going to enjoy the movie. Halfway through I realized that it was one of the best films I'd seen in a while. At the end of the movie, as the credits were rolling and I was smiling uncontrollably, I realized that the movie I'd just watched would stick with me for a very long time. I would go on to watch it again and again.I don't like happy endings in movies, especially when they feel fake. And sad endings are just depressing. The ending of Timecrimes is neither and it's both. It's a good, perfect ending and it's totally unpredictable.For the past few years I've been hearing reports of a remake. I hope that never happens. Timecrimes is perfect just the way it is.

Having proved their worth in the horror genre (with recent gems such as REC and THE ORPHANAGE), the Spanish now show their hand at the science fiction genre as well, with pleasing results. TIMECRIMES is one of those low budget movies, made with a small cast on a small set, that it's best to go in knowing little about. The main thing is that this film's all about time travel, with all the mix ups, problems, and situations that arise when a couple of characters are given free access to a time machine that can transport people a few hours into the past.There are plenty of horrific undertones as this film begins; a family man's seemingly straightforward day turns into a nightmare when he stumbles across a beautiful girl in the woods, naked and apparently dead. Soon he's being chased by a masked psycho, and then the science fiction stuff comes, and the film gets really good. The rest plays out full of twists and turns while at the same time keeping the suspense bubbling along nicely. An unknown cast work wonders, with Karra Elejalde particularly efficient as the every day kind of guy losing his mind at the time travel hijinks, and Barbara Goenaga particularly lovely as the unwary cyclist caught up in the mess. Round this out with a good director and great script and you have the kind of B-movie that's far better than many similar A-list offerings.
