You can skip this movie. 2:22 started strong, but failed to remain interesting thoughout. I thought the acting was meh, and the storyline downright boring. There was supposed to be this big reveal at the end of the film, but it was predictable. The pace of the story was off - like everything was happening too slowly with too many dramatic pauses. The sound in this movie was just horrible - bad mixing of music and background sound. The actual love story was cliched and dull. If it wasn't for the generically aesthetically perfect actors I doubt I would have watched it. Seriously, there are so many better movies out there. Do not watch this one.

The overall story is not very good when you think about it after the film but the engaging first half and the lead pair makes it a good watch. The mystery behind 2:22 and the romantic track of the first half was very well done but throughout the second half there was something missing in the direction or it might be the script going downhill from there. Teresa Palmer and Michiel Huisman are a charming lead pair who managed to keep it interesting even when the script was lacking the power.

This is a good example of "How not to execute a high-concept sci-fi/fantasy premise". An air traffic controller (played by Daario Naharis from Game of Thrones) starts having visions and notices weird patterns in his daily routine, with the implication of some impending tragedy taking place at 2:22 and involving both him and his new girlfriend (redeemingly pretty Teresa Palmer).See, in movies where the plot hinges on some kind of premonitions, you need to ESTABLISH CLEAR SIMPLE RULES - like in Minority Report, Groundhog Day, Source Code, The Dead Zone, Déjà Vu, It Happened Tomorrow, etc. Not necessarily explanations. But rules. We need to know early in the story how the hero's powers work, how he can take advantage of them, what their limits are. THEN you can put a spin on those rules - but you need to establish them first. If it's all too vague, then anything goes and tension becomes tedium. Here the story turns out to involve, I kid you not, the explosion of a far-away star, the protagonists' astrological sign and reincarnation. It's too much; the movie drags. Pity, because an initial scene involving a potential plane crash was fairly tense.4,5/10

I really enjoyed this movie. It was suspenseful and intriguing. The audience is taken on a ride with the actors through an intricate plot that weaves its way to a final conclusion that has a satisfying twist. I like how it ended, tying up all loose ends and responding to all the viewer's unanswered questions. The acting was convincing and all were solid performances. The two main characters were especially good and carried the film with the help of the minor actors. I like this style of movie that allows the audience to use their brains instead of spelling everything out as though the audience is not intelligent. View this film with fresh eyes ignoring the derogatory reviews that obviously think that giving a one or a two to a movie is a good idea. The low scores that were given by some have caused this movie to be overlooked which is totally unfair.
