Other Versions of You

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! After watching other short movies by Motke and Ryan Hartsock before I couldn't wait to see what they did with a full feature, needless to say I've been waiting for the release of Another Version of you for awhile - I was not disappointed. The twist on inter-dimensional travel coupled with simplistic search for Suzette to just love him back was at times heartbreaking and edge of your seat hopeful at others. I started to root for him so much that before you know it his journey starts to feel like your own. I hate spoilers in reviews so I won't share my favorite moments of the film I will tell you this, I excited to share this movie with my wife, I'm glad I didn't need a key to find her...

Sometime parallel universe movies try to do to much leaving the viewer confused and with a lot of questions in the end.

This movie was not like that. It kept everything fairly simple and the story line, although a little predictable, kept me interested throughout.

The acting was done well and I very much enjoyed this quirkly little gem

6.8

Some viewers do not understand this movie... which honestly makes me wonder why they chose to watch it in the first place. It's not what one would call "cerebral fiction" that has to be analyzed.

Another Version of You is basically a romance / comedy / science-fantasy film that is very straight forward from beginning to end. It may not lead where one is expecting, but is certainly worth the journey.

This movie has heart, is enjoyable to watch from beginning to end, and doesn't have the problems many such films have of contradicting itself, leaving plot holes wide open, or making zero scientific sense. Most of all it doesn't employ endless, repetitious deja-vu. There is of course elements of such, but not to the point it becomes annoying; they serve more to tighten the film and make it more sensible.

The story line of the film-- given the subject matter-- is easily believable. The decisions the main character makes while not always wise, are exactly the kinds of things that might actually happen given these circumstances.

For those who didn't get it, hated it, missed the point, sorry but hey, it just wasn't your kind of film. The (current) 5.6 rating does not do this film justice. It is unique, different and tugs at the heart strings. Based on the plot it delivers in every aspect. The ending makes one think about all sorts of possibilities... which is exactly what this movie is all about: all sorts of possibilities.

What would you do if you had a key that lead to everywhere? What if you had an unlimited number of do-overs... and discovered that may not be best?

I don't know if this could be classified as a "brilliant" film... but it's certainly unique, different and thought-provoking.

Maker of the movie has taken a familiar concept, given it a few innovative twists and turns and the result is a fast paced, thoroughly enjoyable flight of fantasy with an earthly soul. The movie, let alone try to come up with any elaborate or grandiose explanation of how this travel between "parallel universes" is possible or works, does not even attempt to make sense of it. But it beautifully gets across the message of "what if" questions and their implications.

How another film maker would have handled the concept, paradoxically is the very subject of the movie. I found it a fun and thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying experience which despite apparent flight of fantasy, used as a medium, remains thoroughly tied to our earthly and normal existence and addresses the choices and dilemmas of life and how we choose to face and resolve these.

Yeah, bad episode of "Sliders", I said it. And that show had some real stinkers.

My main gripe is that the guy simply has no redeeming qualities. All I could think is that, yeah, Suzette was right to be with someone else, because this dude is just bland. He makes terrible choices, and it was predictable from the beginning that he was going to make more terrible choices as the movie one.

I liked the concept, but the dialogue was pretty sad, the main character mopey, and I thought the editing, especially during some initial "montage" scenes, was just clumsy (when you see him initially traveling to different universes and meeting different Suzettes, etc). No cohesion there.

I wish it had been done better. Still, at least it was lit well, the camera work was fine, and the other female actors did a good job.
