Story: After the disappearance of a young scientist on a business trip, his son and wife struggle to cope, only to make a bizarre discovery years later - one that may bring him home.
Likes : The story in "I'll Follow You Down" deals with a lot of science material & theory's of worm holes & time travel like quantum mechanic, dark matter that could be possible through our own earth changing fields as well as ties the emotional side of character study which isn't to complicated to follow.
Maybe to argue the laws of physics and such one would need to bone up on wormhole theories, quantum physics & mechanics but most people will be drawn in by the character drama that unfolds in the film as you see (star of x-files) Gillian Anderson character struggling to come to term with the sudden disappearance of her husband played by (star of Dark city) Rufus Sewell which was a pretty believable performance.
The cast is top notch and give moving performances with no overdrawn grandiosity, just straight forward compassionate well developed characters that really make the story enjoyable.
The sci-fi or scientific theory aspect of "I'll Follow You Down" is well written, although the time line theory might go over some people head's but to be honest time travel theory is a hard thing to explain so it does pretty well to explain thing in this film.
(Star of sixth sense) Haley Joel Osment who plays the son of Rufus Sewell character does a dam good performance as you see him head down his father path but realize their is something wrong as his own life swirls out of control, he realise in order to correct time he must stop he father to repair the time line, but its bring problems for his girl friend played by Susanna Fournier who does a brilliant performance as a woman on the verge of seen her relationship break down it become a very dark emotional time for her.
As most time travel film go this one isn't to bad for a film, i think Haley Joel Osment now in adult could be the next A list star. Even tho i though this film was a great film, this might not be for everyone.
Dislikes : The pace of the is very slow, i think it could of been a little faster than what it was.
Overall : Sc-fi film with intelligence, great acting with emotional scenes & dark moments.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.9 out of 10 for story/Sc-Fi concept.
