    Nope, Scott's review is spot-on. A little generous, even.

    Cera's terrible, and he's especially terrible in this. You'd think watching him get repeatedly punched in the face would make it better, but he doesn't even bleed.

    You're right, I-80d. It'd probably drive me loonie.

    Yeah, me too. They're great.

    Still sounds more like "Flight to Forever" to me, right down to the inability to go back in time and the end with the traveller arriving just before his scheduled appointment.

    Actually, the plot here is a condensed but basically identical version of Poul Anderson's 1950 novella "Flight to Forever."

    36DD Up.

    Your love of the hobbits' leaf has clearly slowed your mind, BadAss.

    Yeah, but instead of one drunk guy claiming it sucks now, it's thousands and thousands of people who almost universally agree that season 8 was its last great season. (With a few outliers who insist it was 6 or 9.)

    Salt had the ridiculousness of Law Abiding Citizen's script, but with a better lead and much more competent direction. Still not good, but enjoyable.

    Damn you people. Go back to your shanties!

    The surprising return of Jim Brown also agreed.

    Miike!

    Cobb spent 40+ subjective years in limbo away from his real kids. That's pretty harrying.

    Wait, do we even see his kids' faces before the very end? Aside from that beach scene (which I can't remember well enough to comment on, but sounds like a major point)? I don't think we do—if so, there may be no way to definitively say, one way or the other, whether they're the same age or not.

    Here's some general thoughts about the ending and what's a dream. Sorry for the length, this movie excites me.

    Just caught this one, and yeah, bad. There's an unfunny, uninspired crassness all over this episode.

    According to the credits, his children have aged approximately 18 months. This isn't evidence that he's dreaming. The top wobbles. It's ready to fall.

    Different sets of actors play his children from his memories and from the final scene. The second set is credited with being 1-2 years older than the first. Time has passed.

    That was exactly my take on it, too, Dread Cthulhu. I'll see if I change my mind the next time or three I watch it.
