Agreed. And I think it was the intent (with today being the day it was to be released). I'm guessing they wanted to steal some thunder.
Both worked for me, though. But I thought Star Wars was much better. Took me back to be 7 again. I almost cried like McConaughey.
I have a confession to make. I've never actually watched all the Star Wars films. Should I or is it something I just won't get 35 years after the fact.

My guess is you'd be underwhelmed w/ them. As a kid growing up they were great but I don't have much interest in them now (even the originals), the "prequals" I didn't even watch.
Yes, yes it is. A bit on the nose towards the very end, but I still liked it.
If you liked that, you might also like Stay, which very few people have seen despite it starring Ryan Gosling, Naomi Watts, and Ewan McGregor. Also Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal, but I think that was discussed in this thread a while back.
Just watched Stay. Totally agree. It is really interesting that both Stay and Predestination, on Amazon reviews have either COMPLETE hate or COMPLETE love. Very little middle ground.
Yeah some people feel manipulated by those types of endings so they evoke very strong reactions. I can't watch that type of movie all the time, but every now and then it's great fun.
I read it differently. I think most people who wrote reviews that hated both just prefer "Transformers" type of movies. They want a formula. And some of the other criticisms were correct. Neither movie was marketed effectively. People went into both movies, based on trailers, thinking they were action flicks.
