So bad acting and directing that I couldn't finish viewing it!
Added 11/3/2009
I am a time travel movies' fan and have a pretty complete collection (almost 40 movies), but this one isn't going to be in it, unless somebody remakes it. I began seeing it and couldn't stand the bad acting and directing. I seldom don't finish a movie, no matter how bad it is, but this one went beyond bad. From the reviews I have read here, it seems as if it has an interesting plot, but the acting was so bad that I couldn't stand to watch more than 20 minutes of it. That's the longest I could hold the impulse to puke! Spanish is my first language, so I didn't have a language issue. Fortunately I didn't buy it. I wish they remake it so I can enjoy the interesting plot and twists others say it has, because as much as I love the time travel theme, I don't think I can stomach trying to watch this awful version again.

Maybe I am the one to blame

Listen, I guess I must be really stupid. I tried to watch this movie two times, and I slept two times. I haven't finished watching yet, but I can say that I would only change my mind if something really amazing happened. But from the looks of it, I doubt it.
It is funny how people can have opinions so different. With so many rave reviews, perhaps I am a moron because, first of all, I can't see the point of covering all your head in bandages when what you just have are minor injuries on the forehead. And so it goes. Well, enjoy yourselves.

Pathetic attempt at a "Movie"
Added 10/3/2009
Wow. I've seen better 10 minute videos on You Tube. The dialogue via subtitles are from a high school play. It's almost a parody of some very bad sci-fi movies. Below-amateur writing, production, directing and editing. I watched it twice with theatre and then movie production people. We all had a wonderful time- CHORTLE! SNEER! GUFFAW! SNICKER! Even Ernie Fosselius' "Hardware Wars" was superior to this tripe. Serious students of film will barf at 19.25 minutes.
On my list of "The 100 Worst Films I've Ever Seen." This is one of those DVD's that you can use as a signaling mirror if you're lost on a deserted island.

A LOW-BUDGET GEM THAT IS WORTH A LOOK
Added 9/23/2009
In TIMECRIMES, a low-budget Spanish sci-fi/horror film with an interesting time-travel premise, the small cast is uniformly good. However, Bárbara Goenaga, playing a kindly young woman with a bicycle, is one of the chief attractions. In this film, she looks very beautiful, both clothed and unclothed, and her character earns a lot of sympathy from the audience.
While watching this movie, you will probably be trying to guess how it will end and imagining what YOU would do in such a situation. I will not spoil the ending for anybody, but it is both logical and quite shocking.
As far as its deterministic looping pattern is concerned, I'm most reminded of Robert Heinlein's 1959 short story "All You Zombies--," which does a similar triple loop figure-eight.
The DVD contains a "making of" bonus feature that is worth watching.
