I have to leave it here.
But, the movie, just like any other movies on time travel, suggests that when you meddle with space-time continuous, there will be consequences like people getting hurt. Something to do with this suggestion the most shocking twist in the movie. The movie, however, is easy to follow, which another major feat of the movie. Sometimes, movies of this kind don't need to be so much mind-boggling that you get lost along the way.
This is one of the best science fiction films I've seen so far.
