turns out, he liked it a lot, too. this isn't something that happens often.
the story: people of earth come to find that there's another planet earth...and it's an exact copy of ours, same continents, cities, people. so a richard branson-type entrepreneur sets up a contest for someone to join his crew to visit "earth 2".
but this isn't really what the movie is about. kind of like sliding doors, it's more about, how would your life be different if you could change just one action from your recent history? almost every bit of this movie follows rhoda from a traumatic car accident, in which she kills a mother and child, through her attempt at getting herself, and the surviving widower, through it.
the whole time, i was dreading, but wanting to watch, her revelation to the widower, hoping his reaction wouldn't be awful, but knowing it had to be.
toward the end, i almost thought, they're wasting the terrific premise of "earth 2" counterparts...but that thought disappeared fairly quickly. in now way is the premise wasted.
best movie i've seen in AGES. definitely a recommendation.
