This movie was disappointing because I thought it was too easy to figure out. Obvious clues are obvious. The character's face is changed at the beginning of the movie. They won't show the face of the woman's lover. The sex change story. The mysterious bomber. All of it seemed to point to the same obvious conclusion and it kind of neutered the story (pun intended).
Did anyone else have this same issue?
Perhaps a better question, and one harder to answer specifically, is "When did you figure it all out, and what clues gave it away for you?" Or maybe: "Did you THINK you'd figured it all out and then found there was more twist left?"
I enjoy nice, neat, time travel movies that are 100% plausible, aside from the whole time travel B.S. The "predictability" didn't ruin it. It tickled me.
The biggest paradox for me, as a gay man, was how attractive I thought John was (Sarah's version).
I also think it's a good point to notice the fine performances given. Bravo to Sarah and Ethan!
Exactly, I am sure that everyone here who "figured it out" just figured out a percentage of it like everyone else who is guessing during the movie.

It was interesting in that it was a very different movie than what I am used to watching.
I doubt women will ever be as entertaining as my $200 laptop.

As for me: some parts of it, yes.
Firstly, I thought at the very first appearance of Jane (in the bar) that I see a woman, and I was confused by the bartender seeing her as a man (and being surprised by her story starting with "when I was a little girl"). That was the point where I was thinking "OMG are you kidding me? I should think this person is a man?"
Then, very soon as Jane started telling her story, I realized she was an intersex person because I had learned a lot about intersexuality earlier.
The rest of the movie was also easy to guess. I mean, I couldn't have told how the storyline would go but each time there was a supposed twist in the film, it wasn't a real twist, only a confirmation of what I already found out.
Yes, I think it's the best description for what most of us feel: there weren't any real twists, only confirmations of ideas we were already quite sure to be true. I don't know whether the directors wanted it so or they really thought we were that stupid and these were going to be twists for us.
