They tried to make sure the audience didn't get all caught up in the time travel paradoxes by dismissing it between the two Joes. When they 1st sit down at the diner to talk old joe says he isn't there to answer time travel bullshite questions.
I guess that was the director trying to make sure you didn't get hung up on the wrong parts of the story.
Exactly. The intention is for the audience to completely avoid discussing any time travel/looping issues and just take the movie for what it is. The biggest problem with this is that the movie is entirely based around time travel and thus you cant discuss the movie without discussing the inherent flaws with the time travel plot. This is a "loop" in itself
I'm not sure it's possible to create a movie about time travel that makes sense bc time travel really doesn't make sense. I liked the movie, it was very entertaining and I thought the kid did a great job.

Exactly. I've seen the threads on here about Back To The Future and you could bang your head against a wall reading them.

I just watched it tonight and was somewhat underwhelmed. It was good but if it's in my top 10 for the year then it will just barely make it. The scenery of the dystopian future and the guys running around in black trench coats made this feel like something that's been shown before. And yeah, the whole time travel thing creates so many "but what about..." objections that it's distracting. And I don't really care to have the director make an obvious point to try to dismiss this during the movie. Sorry, you can't just tell us to ignore it.
Still, the acting was pretty good, I liked JGL doing the young Bruce Willis thing, and it was original enough in its own way to be interesting. On the other hand this movie really needed to be fleshed out more and the ending less rushed.
