Honestly it sounds like a sequel tbh.

You still get characterization within them in the movie. How they act and the decisions they make. Their attitudes etc. All of that is character building. You're thinking of backstory.

@fuaddanial2029 If we're talking about motivations and character... you're correct. It's a bit of a Mguffin chase. The plot pushes the characters forward rather than the other way around. But structurally? Specifically within this movie? Thing is basically solid because it literally goes back and explains it. There's only simple thing it needs... a sequel. Like seriously. And not even like a franchise just one sequel. Because it's only half finished. It's pretty clear that the goal was "an end at the beginning and a beginning at the end" in a lot of ways, and he hasn't done that. He also told us that it's only halfway through. So it needs a sequel. Oh also in terms of the movie's idea with the plot moving the characters forward, it's king of a cop out but within the context of this movie it's kind of what's supposed to happen. It's literally a static timeline that you're following forward and backward in.

I'll be honest I completely understood this movie and my brain is usually off for my entertainment. I think it's fairly obvious the point of this film: make a movie in reverse and behind. However I think there's a certain way to watch this movie: and it's to see how everything plays out from the first go-around. If your entrainment of a piece of work comes from characters and attachment to them... look elsewhere. Literally all Hint of drama is taken out as soon as they learn that the antagonist goes back through time. If he's back in time and also supposed to be the end of the world it's pretty obvious they won. In terms of stakes it never really had any but you can also argue that for nearly any movie because the protagonist always wins. You're here for this movie because you had a few too many chats with the coffee and are excited to see it in practice. It also has the enjoyment of like a mystery movie in terms of re-watch value: that you watch it again and see what you missed. Strictly in re-watch value though. The action scenes are poorly written and so is plenty of the dialogue but it's an airtight movie which is VERY fun to watch again.
