Good:Very well written simple time-travel plot that is easy to grasp and suspenseful. Bad:Some very dumb character decisions that almost destroys the good story.

This clever sci-fi thriller involves a man who is attacked in the woods and goes back in time. The rest of the movie is a series of plot twists.You can look at this movie in two ways. It's a sci-fi flick that plays with time conundrums, or it's an existentialist drama about the way we are trapped in our lives.As a sci-fi film, Timecrimes holds together pretty well. There's a very specific time line and everything fits together nicely. Unfortunately, the movie pretty much relies entirely on the flaws of its protagonist Hector. Hector seems like an everyman, but ultimately he's an immoral idiot. He is fantastically stubborn and makes consistently terrible decisions, often not even trying the most obvious option. Timecrimes follows the popular time-travel trope of inevitability, yet I didn't feel anything in the story was really inevitable; it was just Hector being stupid.The movie works better as existentialist drama, highlighting the ways we play out roles and conspire in our own destruction. This adds some depth to the movie. But without a sense of what kind of person Hector must be to act as he does, I was left feeling dissatisfied.Also, that last couple of minutes is just weird and artificial.

Saw this movie today only The only thing that remain mystery was what was happening with others characters. Were they also getting replicated?Actually to understand this movie make the main character as reference. He first get replicated, then he misunderstood hector 1 as another person. He then repeats the entire series which hector 3 did to hector 2(reference​ or once hector1 from where movie started). Hector 3 which later became hector 4 never came in seen of movie. Meanwhile hector 2(the main reference) after becoming hector 3 tries to stop now hector 2 to do same stuff which he did. But later he realised that he can't stop all this. The only thing he can do is let him and her wife flee away. This reveals the unknown hector4 fate. The infinite loop has started where first 3 hectors will have place in the story and all other are out of scene

This is the kind of film that would drive my wife and daughter-in-law absolutely nuts. Spanish with English sub-titles, a Jacuzzi with a lid used as a time-machine and a totally incomprehensible plot (up until the last 5 minutes). The acting may have been good but that didn't reveal itself in the English sub-titles so I would ask the opinion of a Spaniard. Special effects were minimal and the biggest wardrobe cost must have been a distressed trench coat and a pink head bandage. As such I think it must have been made with the change left over from a 50 euro note after buying a 'Happy Meal' but, that said, for someone that almost exclusively watches big budget Oscar nominated films, this one I LIKED (in the end).
