Trivia
In the beginning when in 1988, they are listening to a basketball game on the radio in the patrol car. The announcer says that Philadelphia "lost a heartbreaker" to Atlanta 103-101. This places the exact date as April 14, 1988.

Goofs
At 51:04, the professor explains about a super moon and a blood moon, and that it happens every 9 years. Blood and Super Moons are not the the same. Also they happen more often than every 9 years. A blood moon occurs when the moon dips low in the sky, through Earth's shadow, which casts a reddish glow across it. A full moon that occurs on the moon's closest approach to Earth is called a super moon.

Quotes
Locke: You know, when I kill you, you'll never be able to kill anybody. One version of me won't have to chase you.
Rya: If you kill me now, the world as you know it will end in a very short time. And you have no idea what's coming.
Locke: You're not the only one trying to change the past. I'll be a regular guy.
[checks his gun]
Locke: With a regular family.
Rya: No. You don't kill me. I know you. I've known you my entire life. You were the one who told me to take this job. You taught me how to ride a bicycle. You made me my first ice cream pancakes. And you held me on the day I was born. This was my mother's.

I enjoyed this.

It's mid budget and reasonable acting etc. There are a lot of negative comments and some people are offended way too easily, perhaps some are looking into it way too much for faults and racism, it's fiction. There are a hell of a lot more offensive movies out there, I am 58 and white and I did not even think of any of the things that some of the overly sensitive reviewers on here so just enjoy it as the fictional movie that it is and not a propaganda movie with messages of hate.
