This is not your typical sci-fi flick. There are no monsters, mutants or massive special effects. It is science (physics) + historical fiction.
It is easy for lovers of sci-fi to get bogged down by details. Rather than quarrel with other reviewers about this, I would just say this is fiction, parallel universes are not currently fact; so one might be more open-minded if someone presents an alternate approach.
1) To assume that scientists can't be illogical at times is perhaps short-sighted. Love is truly illogical and childhood love is even more so. They need not be an emotional wreck in order to be illogical about lost love or unfounded guilt. Brilliant scientists come in many forms.
2) If you want to know Robert's motivation for traveling back in time, pay closer attention to the love stories.
Be open to the story and as others have said, the cinematography and the score are excellent for a low budget movie.
