Frequency This movie caught me totally off guard, in a good way, and therefor gets high marks (yes, 4/5 is a high mark). This movie was not what I expected. It wasn't a cool ass si-fi techie extravaganza, but instead it had a bit of everything. There was emotional stuff, techie stuff, action stuff and philisophical stuff.

Basic premise is a guy manages to contact the past through a time of freak solar flares via an old ham radio.

This presents a great many interesting situations, and some big questions. Should you if you could? What are the consequences? What do you do if you don't think about the aformentioned questions before just going ahead and doing it?

It is sort of like a big star trek episode (as Mr. Cranky says), but on the other hand, it's done in a "real" setting. What would you do if you could talk to yourself 10 years ago? And how would affect things now? Of course, this question has been the topic of many, many movies already, but this is a new way of doing it.

The end also came to me as a bit of a surprise. All through the movie I had an idea of what was going on, and what was going to happen next. Heck, I even had a couple of ending senarios all set up in my head, but it was a bit of a shocker. Now that I think of it (2 hours later), it's a bit surreal. When you see this (I do recommend it) think about how the ending happend, and what events occured... maybe your brain will start doing cartwheels figuring out the time paradoxes (or maybe I just don't remember exactly what happened and am blowing smoke).
