So this post is about the movie we watched at movie night, so if you haven't seen Deja Vu this won't make sense. Watch it. It was good. :) Anyway...
The thing I found most interesting about the movie was the way the time traveling worked out in the end. It seems like every time-traveling film or book or tv episode ends in two ways: despressing because they can't change anything or frustrating because it's a constant circle. This one, however, ended with a new future that was able to be changed without just repeating itself. They solved the problem and they can now move on. So my question is: do you think this is a possible outcome or is there some flaw here that the film writers avoided?

I think that this film could work if the branch that was created when Denzel went back in time didn't erase the future that he had originally been in. I think that if the two time lines continue on simultaneously then it could work. The Denzel that we watched for the entire movie went back in time and in doing so it's as if he created a new dimension. If this is the case then there could still be a loop inw which the girl dies and he goes back to save her there by creating a new loop in which she lives. confusing yes, but in my mind it works.
