Review of Hello World

I came into this completely blind, and I must say that this movie was amazing to me up until minute mark 40.... the plot starts off as a "future self comes to change the past" story arc, all the while working on establishing world building, and the rules of the sci-fi plot points...Everything is amazing, the story telling, the romance, the motivations, the morals, the characters, the sound track, etc....until the 40 minute mark.... the romance unfolds and the twist of the movie is revealed, but the movie doesn't give the viwers time to embrace the emotional impact of the twist...instead in less than 5 minutes ofthe twist being revealed...another, incredibly un-explained, and nonsense twist begins its injection into the story...with no explanation, the movie begins breaking its own world building, its own ground rules for the sci-fi aspects, and instead takes a shift to focus on vibrantly colored action animation scenes. if you watched to the 40 minute mark you're likely of the train of thought that the romance is the draw here over the animation...

the sudden shift in plot and twist will leave the majority of viewers in complete disarray and confusion. many people will likely need to YouTube what's happened here, as the movie begins to focus on completely nonsensical events, making the first 39 minutes of the movie somewhat pointless and forgotten.

regardless of the confusing story that seems to work against itself, the movie resolves, and will leave the viewers feeling emotional, however, while many will take this for what it is, a semi above average romance sci fi...others will hate on this movie for the chances it takes in the second half, and will likely be left with a sense of unfulfillment as we glimpse a much more interesting plot point right at the ending of the movie, this ending plot point, in and of itself, deserves explanation, and elaboration but will receive absolutely none at all.

worth a watch but this movie definitely has its share of flaws. so solid 7 of out 10 for me
