Going into this film I had a strong disliking towards Sandra Bullock and did this film help? No, not really.
So to start, the first 45 mins of the film is actually really good, I'd argue it's 8/10 good. The plot is set out nicely, the changing between present and future was done subtly, but noticeable and the film had a very nice pace to it. No boring moments. But ultimately, it was just interesting. I was hooked in from the first minute and I wanted to know more, what's going to happen next? How does it get resolved?
Unfortunately, this is where is all goes downhill for me and the rating drops and drops. The pace of the film comes to a complete standstill almost, nothing of value is really happening anymore. With a film like this you are waiting for that one big "wow" moment, the scenes that tie up everything. And it just never comes.
The film ends, and without spoiling, solves absolutely nothing. Meaning the whole film was a huge waste of time. Stupid character decisions didn't help the cause either! (You'll be annoyed also if you watch). As stated in the title, it was all just incredibly underwhelming. The pace really didn't help and by the time the film was wrapping up, I just wanted it done. That moment of being hooked in had gone and I just became bored at the lack of things happening.
But yeah, sadly this film just goes downhill, which is a shame because it could have been really great if done a bit differently. 5/10 from me. Slap down the middle, average!
