I watched this movie tonight and had a blast, it was actually quite a bit of fun keeping track of the timeline stuff and whether someone or an object was operating “inverted” or “non-inverted”. Is the premise absurd? It definitely feels that way, but the movie was fun and kept my attention well occupied for its duration. One provocative takeaway from the movie: be careful with rigidity of thought & not updating your priors. It felt like the movie was mostly about rapidly updating your priors and not just for usual character development stuff, but like...oh, what silly time travel or paradox or other incoherent “science” shenanigans are they up to now? The movie was like a puzzle to unravel but with lots of action scenes, it was enjoyable.
