STORYLINE: Mysterious boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew.  (Imdb)

   In 1985 Marty McFly traveled Back to the Future.   Bill Mitray was stuck in a time loop in, the comedic, Groundhog Day (1993).  Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were on the Edge of Tomorrow, in 2014.  The independent feature film, Rose of Nevada, is has traveled its way, across timelines, into cinemas. 

    Time travel is a cinenatic concept, that falls into the science fiction genre. Not all time travel features are exclusively science fiction films.  About Time (2013) crosses wires with the romantic comedy genre, for instance.  Rose of Nevada is a time traveling drama.  Think The Perfect Storm (2000) with time travel.

     Rose of Nevada has, what appears to be, a pretty straight forward story. That’s a missing boat suddenly reappears after many years. Two desperate fisherman join the crew, once they return home they have traveled back in time.  

    Despite a pretty straight forward story, the film is, at times, is unnecessarily hard to follow.  It takes a few minutes to process what has just  happened.  The problem with that is one is  missing bits of information in a story, where every bit of information is vital, as they process past information. In the end, everything does come together.  Nothing is spoon fed to the viewer.  This requires attention to be paid throughput the movie.

    I will not complain about a movie requiring me to think as I watch it. I will complain when there is to much information to process, at any given time. There were such moments in Rose of Nevada.

    This is a motion picture I would like to file a second viewing. Yes, I found moments of entertainment in it, but I feel the story became convoluted, and I need may have missed a few bits of it. A second viewing would help that. 

   Of course, I have said a similar statement about David Lynch‘s brilliant movie Mulholland Drove (2001). After at least half a dozen viewings, including in a theatrical showing after his passing last year, I still cannot tell you what that movie is about. However, I do hold it in high regards.  

    Who knows what the future may hold for my opinion of Rose of Nevada. Right now though, I will say, this time traveling drama is hard to follow,  itbkefy me feeling underwhelmed.  

   Until next time, I will see you at the movies!
