The good thing is Mel Gibson. Young. Very Much.The minus is … well, everything else.
If you are not looking for logic or reason, this one gives you good entertainment. For one thing, Mel is really fresh and young in the first half of the movie. Set in 1939,the classic milieu suits him like a T. A little action and some love. When you think u’ve finally got a good movie, comes the sci-fi twishht – his girlfriend goes into a coma and our hero volunteers to be frozen till she comes back. ‘Wake me when she comes back’ .. you know, the thing every last-bench classroom lad tells his friend, ‘wake me when the teacher is back’. Regrettably, the scientist friend passes away in the war and Mel is left unattended. After 50 years, a couple of inquisitive teens accidentally open the capsule and Mel comes out. Much like an Indian Thatha. Stop laughing, I am trying to be serious here. He unravels the mystery in a world 50 years older than him. Meets his love at the end. She was just in a coma, remember? Come on, if Mel can come out of a capsule alive, so can she.
True love waits forever ;) in the same old bungalow, near the same lighthouse, with a flower basket in hand. Perfect!
