Looper review

Looper is an intriguing film as it presents an idea that we will never experience of time travel, and also contains the interesting idea of the future which I like when in films, as it is interpreted in different ways.  I especially like in films containing the future as it creates ideas of what it could be like as we have no idea at the moment what its going to be like.  Critics describe it as ‘a pleasurable trip into an interesting vision of the future’.  The plot and the idea of the loopers and time travel is complex and this is good and bad as sometimes it leaves you enticed and hanging on to every word, but sometimes the plot seems to veer off to a situation and idea that doesn’t make sense and isn’t complete, which leaves it boring and not understandable.  I like how the film doesn’t solely focus on the style of sci-fi and thriller, as it also introduces a romance between Joe and the women, as well as the emotional attachment to the child.  I enjoyed the ending where you think the mother dies, as this misleads you and creates a sad pinnacle that is quickly changed.  However, it is also quite different and controversial that the ending is not completely happy, and I would have preferred for Joe to survive however as shown in Joes sight of the future, this would have led to the mothers death.
