Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

chrichtonsworld This mini-series has quite some good moments. Some of the ideas are interesting and promising. The concept reminded me of "D.O.A." with Dennis Quaid. Sadly this show has got nothing in common with that wonderful movie. The murder mystery is not as exciting as I hoped it to be. The "changing the future theme" does add some depth to the mystery. And is the main reason why this show is interesting enough. If this concept hadn't been in this show than I wouldn't even had bothered watching this. When this concept presents itself you want to know how and why it is possible. Preventing death of the main character was something that didn't seem to matter much to me. The idea to give somebody a way to do it was more intriguing. The much anticipated climax is therefore completely unsatisfying. No decent or reasonable explanation is given of events. The loose ends don't get tied up. And the big question (the time travel concept) doesn't get answered at all. Maybe I could have forgiven the ending if the show had more to offer. A show with a premise like this has to have more twists and turns than it did. Or more comic relief or action to offer some light entertainment. At least something that would have taken my mind of the initial mystery. But the slow pace and lack of real suspense kills of everything that could have made the show really thrilling. The only thing that deserves special mention is the way they portrayed the relationship between the father (Timothy Hutton) and daughter (Gage Golightly; dead ringer for Drew Barrymore when she was little). It was very nice to see. Other than this there is nothing worth watching. Avoid this!

Sweet_yusrah Hi, Me too have watched "5 JOURS POUR SURVIVRE' but did not fully understand the last past...can u explain me the last part Please...You can send your comment through mail..my email id is [email protected]. Waiting for you to contact me. Can you tell me what happened to Claudia husband and how was the professor save? And also who did all this? I mean planning their death. Is it Claudia, her husband or who? I am very eager to know all this things. Well, it was a great film, i just love it. It was fabulous! OK thanksu

jennifer13denise I loved this show. I never knew it existed until my friend brought it home from the video store. We just finished it and I had to share what I thought. THIS DOES INCLUDE SPOILERS!!First of all, yes, the slow motion scenes sucked. Who needs to see a tree that many times and I didn't get why we had to watch the leaf blow into the door window at 'Mandy's' house.Second, I loved the ending. Sure, it didn't explain how the folder changed to 'J.T.' living, but if you can't figure it out that he changed his future, so the file changed, get a clue.Third, during the whole movie, I was thinking..Did he do it? Did she do it? Wait, maybe he did it. I love movies like that.Fourth, Did anyone notice the dog before the movie explained it? It was the dog he almost hit, that belonged to Mandy. Coincidence? Of course not.Fifth, Jesse from the future sent the file. That would make sense. She knew they would be there, and knew her father would figure it out.I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes mystery until the end. Just fast forward through the slow motion shots, lol.If I had to choose one thing I really didn't like, it would be that the DVD didn't explain things about the movie, like the dog. Or the many clocks.Feel free to e-mail me if you wish. I love a good debate.

Terminal Madness Timothy hutton plays physics professor JT Neumeyer who while visiting his wife's grave discovers a thin silver brief case.He opens it and discovers a group of files showing pictures of his death and newspapers clippings.First declaring this as a practical joke, the events in the files play out slowly and now convinced that he'll die in five days, tries to find a way to prevent himself from dying and must change his destiny.The concept is great despite being a bit derivative, and there's plenty of room for tension, suspense, and great bits on philosophy, but the screenwriters miss their chances.The cast is comprised mostly of second rate actors with the exception of Hutton who tries his best at the lead role but ultimately fails towards the end of the film as he manages to go way over the top with his emotional scenes.There's also Randy quaid who is quite bland and one-dimensional, and Angus McFayden who is the worst of the characters as the over the top mob boss Roy Bremmer. Watch for his really bad scenes as he attempts to inflict depth into his character but comes off as laughable.Meanwhile the story has the ability to inject tension and sense of immediacy but all of it is loss in the bogged down story. Rambling and droning at some points it's difficult to understand why this couldn't have been a two hour film instead of a four parter.There's also plenty of room for philosophy and the concept of destiny and fate towards death, but there's nothing here as the story is mostly comprised of uneventful occurances, slim character development, and so much dialogue.While the film is engrossing at the beginning, it's ultimately lost halfway through as the plot is segued into the benign plot featuring McFayden which takes away from the actual reason why we're watching."Stay tuned for the shocking last minutes to 5 Days to Midnight" the Sci-Fi channel boasts which never usually works on me but I was rather interested to see where this was developing. But, unfortunately it was all just hype. I was expecting that Neumeyer's daughter would accidentally shoot him causing his death, and that we never got to see who sent the briefcase, but it's all pretty much explained in the end and nothing of the sort happens.I wanted an ironic, witty, and shocking ending beneath the muddled plot and droning dialogue, but alas we're not given anything but an obligatory and rather disappointing happy ending.Decent performances, a great concept but falls apart halfway through becoming routine and cliche. The writers never give this story and concept a chance to spread its wings and just keep it down to mediocre level.** out of **** stars.
