/* ----- VIDEO INFORMATION ----- */
In order to fully understand the film, you need to come to grips with the fact that the time-traveling character in the movie, named Rya, is going back through time starting at 2015 then 2006, 1997 and lastly 1988, eliminating people who may have influenced the attacker throughout their life. This includes a multitude of people such as teachers, musicians, bus drivers, parents, friends and so on.
The theory behind this is that if Rya is able to remove all of the forces that basically shaped the terrorist into the way that they turned out, the attack that opens the movie will not happen.
In The Shadow Of The Moon’s Time Travel
It’s a really brilliant concept and In The Shadow Of The Moon pulls it off really well by letting you experience things from the perspective of Thomas Lockhart, played by Boyd Holbrook who we first meet in 1988. Lockhart is investigating the attacks carried out by Rya and he seemingly kills hers, thus ending the spree.
There’s something strange about her though and she seems to know intimate details about the character and events that haven’t happened yet such as his daughter being born and his wife and partner’s death. Flash forward nine years later and Rya appears once more, carrying out another number of murders.
She’s initially thought to be a copycat but Lockhart quickly discovers that this is indeed the person that he met in 1988 and by the time we role around to 2006, which is when a younger version of Rya appears, the character is completely obsessed with her. This comes at the expense of the relationship with his daughter and for Lockhart, stopping Rya means also going back and erasing the timeline that he is currently stuck in which has made the relationship with his child completely frayed.
In The Shadow Of The Moon: Ending Explained
Now, the biggest question I’ve seen floating around about the end of the film is ‘Did Rya Complete Her Mission?’
The answer is yes, now as we see the office block explosion from the beginning of the film that we know lead to 11,000 deaths slowly reversing and the flag disappearing, it’s a safe bet to assume that Rya did indeed complete her goals. Thus the bombings never happened and an alternate timeline is created leaving this version of Rya, as she refers to herself as, an Echo.
Disaster averted, everyone can go on to live a happy life, including Lockhart who is now fully aware that due to his obsession he has shattered the relationship with his daughter and that he has to be there for her and his child. This allows him to raise Rya the way that he should have in the original timeline and almost make amends for his failings as a father.
Going forward there will be no need for this version of Rya to sacrifice herself and now Lockhart, his daughter, and his granddaughter can go on to forge a relationship together.
In The Shadow Of The Moon Review
It makes for an awesome ending and the film as a whole is great. I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish and whilst some plot beats are predictable if you’ve ever seen a time travel film before, the movie is great at setting rules, sticking to them whilst also telling the rise and fall of a man that has let his obsession become the better of him.
Overall it makes for a great film and though it doesn’t completely knock it out of the park there is still a lot of things that make this engaging.
It doesn’t do the usual Netflix move of completely battering you over the head with the message behind it which I massively appreciate as often these kind of films can get bogged
