The title of the movie gives away a little bit. By picking slightly different initial conditions, you can affect the outcome of a series of major events. And, if you can go back and pick various initial conditions, wouldn't you be able to make the world the way you'd want it to be? I wrote a blog entry called Fate about this same thing, but from a different perspective. This movie, sort of, comes to the same conclusion ... there's only one fitting way for things to happen. I like this movie a lot. My Rating: 8.0
