Found in Time (2012)

Found in Time (2012). Found in Time: Directed by Arthur Vincie. With MacLeod Andrews, Mina Vesper Gokal, Kelly Sullivan, Derek Morgan. Chris is a psychic who lives his life out of order – experiencing past, present and future as a jigsaw puzzle. But when he commits a murder in the future, he has to change his past and present in order to prevent it from happening.

“This has a fairly unique premise, while movies about psychics being commonplace isnu0026#39;t strange, the way these people interact with society is unique to say the least. Rather than these people necessarily telling the future, they rather provide services to u0026quot;normalu0026quot; people as street vendors because they are unable to integrate into u0026quot;normalu0026quot; society. This is a rich concept that is a fantastic idea without all of the complicated trappings of this film, and the concept certainly suffers from the convoluted nature of this film, being filmed out sequence, and it also revolves around alternate timelines and universes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is not at all as bad as some people are claiming, it requires extreme close attention to detail while you watch, it still leaves a little too much ambiguity, a little less philosophical waxing, and a little more explanation in some areas would have really helped. That said, it is still an interesting film to watch with a lot of philosophical ideas. By the end of the film, you are left to mull over what you watched and try to piece it together, and while that is fine, it does suffer from throwing too many ideas into the mix, there is a heck of a lot going on here philosophically: the idea of what it means to be u0026quot;goodu0026quot;, the concept of free will versus fate, near death experiences, the nature of consciousness, the nature of love, and more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is decent enough, the camera work is decent, the sound is good, music is very minimally used here(which is a good thing), and the script, as already stated is a bit too convoluted for its own good, but very interesting. This is a good film for those who enjoy their movies left of center and do not like everything spoon fed to them, anyone who wants everything explained will probably turn this off in anger or beat the TV or phone out of frustration. In the end, it remains an ambitious piece of low-budget film making that never totally gels together, but still has a lot to offer.”
