Erased

Time and time again

Honestly it's hard to really say much about this movie.

At first it's ok and intriguing. Then as the movie progresses it just starts getting silly.
The acting by the young actors are great. The older adults come across as phoning in the roles honestly.

I didn't like Satoru's depth at all. His acting didn't seem believable and I just couldn't get behind how he was reacting to situations. Like when his mom was killed what sort of reaction was that?? Katagiri was also just kinda there and the ending had no impact due to their undefined relationship. There was not enough build to make it matter. They all felt too mellow in their scenes and it made the movie feel like nothing significant was happening.

I also don't understand how situations played out. We have an adult in a kid's body, yet his logic during key scenes was like not to speak up or defend himself. The acting of Kayo's parents also seemed to be so dissonant from the scenes. I don't know how to explain it. They weren't acting at the other actors, they were just playing out the scene if that makes sense.

The pacing and plot were ok for the most part but as everyone else said the last 20 mins is just absurd. Let's just go to a super high roof alone with the killer.

I have watched this first before the netflix series.

Acting is superb!
The actors really did well from the main actor to the child actors.

The plot is amazing. The revelation was great and you wont expect it. The time travel concept may sound cliche but this one does it fine. However, I prefer the ending of netflix version more than this one. Due to time constraint as this one is a movie, it was not able to give light to other characters but it still did well with the story of Kayo.

The acting, cast and plot are all great but I dont think I can rewatch this again.
