Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
beckymcevans I liked some of the camera work, but it got tiresome. The conceit of mixing up time was fine, so that wasn't the problem. The whole thing was just a little too self-consciously precious. I definitely did not like either Justin Long or the character he played, so that killed most of the romance for me. I adore Emmy Rossum, but ultimately this film wasn't worth 90 minutes of my life.
Sweetigal85 I absolutely adored this movie and I am only not giving it a perfect score because of the ambiguous ending. I had no trouble following the pace and flashing forward and backward in the character's mind. This may be a little confusing and irritating to some people though. The framing reminded me very much of the movie Closer. I think this movie Comet would best be suited for artistic, creative people and hopeless romantics.I found the dialogue to be very real and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The two main characters have amazing chemistry together and I didn't even realize until someone else pointed it out in their review that they are pretty much the only people in the entire movie.The scenery was absolutely beautiful and very inspiring. I think Kimberly was more wacky like Dell than she chose to believe. I think they were both very strange, offbeat characters and that is why they fit so well together but also why they tend to clash. The acting was absolutely amazing, definitely Justin Long's greatest performance.I personally would like to believe in the optimistic ending which is that "being pregnant and not leaving Jack" is Kimberly's lie which she had never gotten to tell throughout their relationship. Dell had specifically told her the night that they met that she needed to choose the moment of her lie for a time when he was least expecting it and for when he was in A TRULY VULNERABLE STATE. So when he kisses her in the end and interrupts her, I think she was definitely about to tell him that was her lie and she finally fooled him. That is what I believe because I too do not want to live in a world where Kimberly and Dell do not end up together!
ashleylrethford Do not listen to the critic reviews. I thought this movie was very well done. With some cheesiness, yes. But overall, it's great. Anyone who's ever been through a breakup from a long lasting relation can relate to this movie. Especially if you feel things were never resolved or that you're still in love with that person and trying to get them back. Love is intense. Sometimes it's best to let it go, and other times, it's okay to hold on. Just understand that it can hurt you. And this movie shows just that. It tapped into a vein for me. And I will tell you, first and foremost: the score is EVERYTHING for this movie. Daniel Hart did an amazing job. Scores for me make or break a movie. Even if the entire movie has amazing music; if the song they choose to end it on is horrendous, it really ruins it for me. So, BRAVO, Daniel Hart. Justin Long and Emmy Rossum did an amazing and believable job with their chemistry in the movie. It made it hit so much more close to home. I really enjoyed the believable fighting and the lovable scenes between them both. I loved the characters they played. I'm a cynic, so I really loved Justin Long's role. Just stick close to the movie so you understand that it's back and forth throughout their relationship. It's not hard to follow. Parallel universes for me are so intriguing. And it helped me write some lines for my wedding vow to my fiancé. Excellent film, and very well made.
huston-43657 In life and in love, people often ponder the moments in their lives they attribute to being transformational. The moments we feel define and alter our path in this world. Comet captures these moments in Dell and Kimberly's lives, showing us the genuine emotion they felt as these moments unfolded. It leaves countless unanswered questions—allowing the audience to surmise the trajectory. From the opening scene in which Kimberley "pushes" Dell out of the way of an oncoming car, the audience is sent on a deliberate exploration of what could have happened in this couple's story. All entirely dependent upon how they lived out these moments and how the audience chooses to interpret the reality of those scenes. If you're looking for definite answers in a movie you will be astoundingly unsatisfied. This story will challenge many preconceived notions of these same moments in your own life. Perhaps serving, for some, as a paradigm shifting moment in your introspective mind.
