The problem this movie and MR had was that they violated this and gave both characters an effect before there was a cause, the effect thereby being the cause.An event cannot, even in the most futuristic and imaginative sci-fi setting, cause itself, as it does in the two under discussion. Here, Kris's character gives Adrien's information only because Adrien gave it to him first, years ago. That itself was only because...get this...Kris told him! In other w ... "
