I watched it last night and it's a pretty good film. There is a lot of subtle stuff going on at first impression, so I'll have to watch it again to try to unravel it all.
Main question: Why are there 4 characters at the beginning? The whole thing is based on 2 guys and their "time machine" and them recursively undermining each other's plans. I kept saying to myself, they introduced those characters, they must be somehow manipulating things. But no.
Also, I call BS on 4 guys working from a garage who wear button down shirts with ties and belts every day.
Oh, since this is the physics thread:
They actually state in dialogue that there is nothing but thermodynamics going on in "the box". While the "thermodynamic arrow of time" (which explains why we can remember the past but not the future) is an idea, it's not well grounded physics. It's based on entropy, which might not exist. Entropy is probably is just a statistical summary of quantum energy exchanges which are too numerous to identify independently.
