The Man from the Future (2013)

Dreadfully Boring

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

An excellent treat of a time travel movie! The protagonist not only defines the time travel hypothesis but also underlines the impact. I don't want to say anything more, so that I don't spoil the movie for anybody. Must watch movie if you like and understand time travel paradoxes!

I never write reviews on IMDb, but this time I felt like it really needed to be done, since all the reviews on this Title are very positive, and actually that is what made me see the movie in the first place. If I had the ability to build a time machine like the one on this film, I would definitely use it just to go back in time and advise myself not to watch this movie. So, this is basically an unnecessary Brazilian version of Back to the Future, but taking away all the good things about that classic, and leaving an embarrassing result. They try to cover different genres in here: Sci-Fi, Comedy and Drama, failing catastrophically in each of them. The Sci-Fi aspect is an exact imitation of Back to the Future (they even copy the fact that a graduation party with a live band performing is the most defining moment in the entire main character's life... come on! are you kidding me?). The Comedy aspect doesn't work at all, and the Drama aspect is 100% cliché after cliché. It amazes me that such a great actor as Wagner Moura has agreed to be part of this. And let me say that his performance doesn't help either. In the movie, he plays many different versions of himself, none of which we get to empathize with, or simply understand his drastic and nonsensical decisions, and it all looks really silly and embarrassing. So, please, consider myself as a future version of yourself coming from the future and suggesting you not to see this movie. It's not a simple waste of 1hr 45m of your time (that wouldn't be so bad, unless you're spending your days trying to find the cure for cancer or something), but it is also that after watching this you get somehow depressed, very sad about the fact that films like this can still be made, pushing cinema backwards.

The film "The Man from the Future" (or "O Homem do Futuro" in original) has made very vivid and bright impression on me. I am proudly giving this film rare 10 points of 10 ! The reasons are described below.First of all, the film is about love. About loud, bright and sometimes even furious love. The film does not show snot, it does not show vulgarity or nudity, no violence. The film shows just real emotions.Secondly and thirdly, the plot, the scenario is very great and here you will see not only the complicated and tricky story line, but also realistic effects of time travel. Just like in the classic "Back to The Future" trilogy, where characters disappear in future when their past has been changed. I would say that this film is a good example of classic "Science Fiction" genre.The play of the actors is very good and realistic.The soundtrack is great.The film has a happy end, leaving only the positive associations in the memory in the head. It is very important for qualitative films.If you like time travel and bright emotions, then this film is for you.The only strange moment is the "popularity" of the film in the modern world. I wonder, why it has not yet been officially released in many countries. I hope, this mistake will be corrected in the future.

This film is just one of the 5 best films i have watched. Thanks Diogo for recommending this to me.The acting, story and emotions catch you to non experimented sensations. I called it a masterpiece in summary because it simply link all movies elements in a perfect artistic way. I have been passed a long time not crying in movies, but tonight i fell.I got very sad when i saw Renato Russo, the movie writer, died in 1996. Anyway.It totally worth watching, the other reviews say it all.So...Go watch it!
