- TriviaIn the beginning when in 1988, they are listening to a basketball game on the radio in the patrol car. The announcer says that Philadelphia "lost a heartbreaker" to Atlanta 103-101. This places the exact date as April 14, 1988.
- GoofsAt 51:04, the professor explains about a super moon and a blood moon, and that it happens every 9 years. Blood and Super Moons are not the the same. Also they happen more often than every 9 years. A blood moon occurs when the moon dips low in the sky, through Earth's shadow, which casts a reddish glow across it. A full moon that occurs on the moon's closest approach to Earth is called a super moon.
- Quotes
Locke: You know, when I kill you, you'll never be able to kill anybody. One version of me won't have to chase you.
Rya: If you kill me now, the world as you know it will end in a very short time. And you have no idea what's coming.
Locke: You're not the only one trying to change the past. I'll be a regular guy.

Locke: With a regular family.
Rya: No. You don't kill me. I know you. I've known you my entire life. You were the one who told me to take this job. You taught me how to ride a bicycle. You made me my first ice cream pancakes. And you held me on the day I was born. This was my mother's.

Was drawn to this by the trailer, as the movie looked like a good murder-mystery. Unfortunately, it turns out this is much more a sci fi thriller than a murder drama, and I'm generally far more into the latter than the former.
This said, the movie still had potential, but this potential was wasted. It becomes quite dull and derivative. Throw in some twists for twists sake, plot developments that don't make much sense or are just there for empty sentimentality's sake, an irritating, unconvincing performance from Michael C Hall (of Dexter fame) and a tame conclusion and it is all quite unsatisfying.
