Dan B @RT54415027 Nov 23, 2025 I've been wanting to see this film for a long time and only now have a sky tv package which let me watch it. Definitely worth the wait. It's definitely not a typical Christmas movie. Michael Sheen is epic in it and I went through every emotion watching it. I love this type of sci fi genre and the attention to detail was fantastic. The supporting cast were faultless and it's the best Christmas film I've seen in a long time. Loved it See more Victor O @RT45890256 Feb 3, 2025 I’m a fan of actress Nathalie Emmanuel and I’ve enjoyed watching Michael Sheen in a couple of films, so when I saw this available to watch I decided to check it during the holiday season. 1985, 4 decades backwards and 3 decades forwards. Tony Towers is a pop icon, middle-aged yet draws money and people out to fan his white-hot success during the Christmas season with a great job, a fiancé, and a brother that he’s happy to hang around. But something happens on a train ride when he moves forward or behind the train’s cars. He jumps a decade forward or a decade backward and begins to realize the way he’s living his life affects his present or future in a way that is either damaging or beneficial. At first, he uses it to make sure he doesn’t end up a failure selfishly but then he realizes some of his successes affect those negatively, so he goes backward to fix the source of the problem. It becomes a journey of not just self-realization but of those that he cares for from his brother, his fiancé, his children and wife from his failed marriage. With the result, a glorious miracle. I figured this for a typical holiday film, but in the end, I was blown away by how beautiful a story this turned out. I would call this a mix of It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Family Man, and the Butterfly Effect. An incredible story of a man with big dreams but feeling empty, yet in the end has the power to change not only his life for the better, but for those he loves most. A nice surprise.

Made me want to jump in front of a train. Sheen's eyebrows are on fleek though. See more Alejandro C @RT42822306 Sep 15, 2023 This movie is linked with Tron Legacy. See more Giorgio G @GioBlob Mar 14, 2023 This flick had popped up on Cable TV a few times, but I had always snubbed it as Christmas movies are normally all alike and once you have seen three, you have seen them all. As I caught 2 minutes in the middle today, I realized that this was not the normal silly XMas rescue or love story, but something completely different and quite marvelous. Thus I finally watched it. And, Wow, was I wrong. Michael Sheen is in his best role ever, naturally the story and the make-up helps, but this ocean of emotions, between arrogance and humility, between family ties and family hatred, between decisions made and decisions regretted is a deep look into every person's soul which will surely touch every viewer in one way or the other. It's a deep character study of humanity itself. Disturbing and charming, moving and intriguing. 7/10 points.
