Since Jemma is already allegedly dead each time the loop restarts, a despondent Pulver decides to use the extra hours before the Earth goes boom to finally bond with Joe instead.

Of course the poor guy now has to yank out his tooth every time he wakes up, but that’s a relatively small price to pay to extend his time to live and learn more about what he’s meant to do. Pulver’s first break comes when he discovers that the dental hygienist he picked up the night before the time loop began has placed a tracking device in his tooth, which allows the assassins, sent by Ventor, to find him at the same time and place every day. But it’s Pulver himself who is causing the imbalance that will swallow up the planet. And second, Jemma has used the Spindle to create the time loop that Pulver is trapped in, placing him inside so that he can keep reliving the same day until he can figure out a way to stop Ventor, save the Earth and possibly his son Joe (Rio Grillo)–who does not know that Pulver is his dad. It turns out that the Spindle can be used to travel through time, and Ventor intends to change the past as he sees fit and rule the world through controlling time–even if that means killing Jemma, which he does.īut there are two other things about the Spindle that Pulver eventually discovers: first, if it’s used long enough, it will create enough instability in the space-time continuum that it will eventually destroy the entire Earth.


“Osiris” is a reference to the Osiris Spindle, a sort of quantum tunnel (in fact, the set looks like it was repurposed from Ant-Man and the Wasp) that Jemma has developed at the behest of her sinister boss. The first clue is the word “Osiris,” whispered to him by his ex-wife Jemma (Naomi Watts), a scientist working on a top-secret project for a former CIA colonel named Ventor (Mel Gibson).
