Caught a cheap showing of this tonight. I was skeptical after the first couple opening scenes, but it had some good, legitimate laughs and a cute story. Plus it helped that it was cheap, but i enjoyed it. Josh Brolin was good and as always Will Smith brought it to life... it's too late and i'm too tired to look right now (dont have internet except on my phone at the moment): who played Boris? He seemed familiar for some reason..
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Not so much a paradox as things playing out slightly differently within the same confines. We find out J's father was the colonel who gets killed by Boris, so that doesn't change. But after finding out what'll happen to Earth, K kills Boris to keep his people from invading Earth. And at the end Earth is almost destroyed by meteors, but that's only if K didn't leave a tip at the diner. Then he goes back and tips.
the time perodox is at the end when the whole conclusion comes together... it was really sad but tommy lee jones really out did himself, he was such a good actor in this movie, as well as his younger self.
Just saw the movie. I could get why K did not tell J about that mission because it could mess up their lives. Was the watch thing talked about in the other prequels?
The thing I really dislike about this movie was there no mention of Agent D... that was some poor continuity by the director and fan boys.
I was surprised - it's actually really good. Much better than mediocre II. Of course there are some major plot holes but you can't do a time travel flick without them. All in all very entertaining.
