My question is, how would Callie Prime, assuming there is one, know to knock over the coatrack and send the photo back, as there would be no photo in the slot telling her what to do, as she would be the first Callie to discover the camera?

I hear what you are saying – but very specifically disagree. What makes you correct is that we never see the decisions behind made coming before them… or maybe I should say, after them. The variances of themselves that are making changes due to the notes that are being left.

But actually, now that I think about it… the most notes that their previous selves could see would be one. Correct? They’d see it, make a change, and then diverge. They could then leave a message themselves to prior selves, but they couldn’t see a second one. You know? Hrmmmm… this might require some rethinking.

Hey Kam, you might also find more answers in this interview I did w Bradley King, the writer and director of the film. I should check in w him again and see how we can convince him to do a sequel. Or a prequel. Or just a quel! Whatever. Haha.

I have one problem with the plot that no one else has mentioned. When they first start getting the next day’s 8 PM photos, they show things that were logically to follow. Jasper decided to use it to get the previous day’s race results, and sure enough they get a photo with the results in the window. They were already planning to have a party and they get the exact party scene in that photo. But how to explain the photo of Callie and Jasper kissing while Finn is painting? The only reason this came to pass was because they saw the photo. If they were unaware of the camera, there is no logical reason that scene would have occurred. In the other 2 examples I gave, the scene captured in the next day’s photo came “first” – meaning that would have happened anyway, even if there were no camera or knowledge of the camera. But with the kissing scene, the photo came “first”, it is the only thing that led them to be in that position the next night.

Any thoughts on this? It didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the movie, but it does seem to be something that needs some explanation. Of course the entire concept of the movie isn’t plausible to begin with, but everything else makes logical sense within that premise.

Thanks Simay! I have a hard time with names!! Seriously. I’m always using incorrect names, switching characters around, constantly screwing stuff up! So, thanks for the help!! I get right on that.

Now, I’m commenting because in one of the first few paragraphs you said ” Callie (Danielle Panabaker) and Jasper (George Finn) are dating and apparently Jasper may have missed his opportunity to propose.” and having just watched the movie it was Callie and Finn who were dating and Jasper was living with them for some reason.
