What will you do if you meet a person in a different timeline 15 years apart?
This is the first question that will come in you mind after watching the trailer of this MMFF 2024 movie entry "My Future You." But after watching the full movie, this question will be clearly answered with a huge amazement in you head! Oh yes, this movie from Regal Entertainment is more than a romantic film that we used to know! It is surprisingly a very good film!
Right after Christmas, December 26, 2024, yours truly Runner Rocky got invited to witness "My Future You" via specially block screening courtesy of Regal Entertainment. It was graced by the movie producers, the children of the late Mother Lily Monteverde, Ms. Roselle Monteverde and Sir Keith Monteverde. Comedy-Concert Queen Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas also graced the event and watched the full movie in support to FranSeth and to Regal Films.
"My Future You" is actually the very first project together of Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin or FranSeth as a love team. They were playing the characters of Karen and Lex in the movie who met online but of different time - Lex (Seth) was in 2009 while Karen (Francine) is in current year which is 2024.
At first you would taught that this movie is like the same romcom movie that we used to watch - 'ung puro pampakilig at love team lang. But you are definitely wrong! This movie is more than a romantic film, it is a very good movie - a family movie actually and not just a romantic film!
The movie doesn't revolves only to the love story of Lex and Karen or about the love team of FranSeth - it tackles more about their families, the choices their fates offered, and the consequences that they may have in every action that they will make!
The movie offers moral lessons in life. It teaches us to be contented in what we actually already have. It teaches us to appreciate even the very little things. The movie teaches us to love our family and the people who truly love us even though they were not our own flesh and blood! And most of all, this movie will let us realize the saying that Patience is a Virtue - that we need to learn the value of waiting 'cause good things come in a right time!
Aside from its good story and unexpected plot twist, FranSeth or Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin are also revelations in this movie! They were all good in their acting - ramdam mo ung emosyon at galing nila sa pag-arte! They gave justice to their respective roles! 'Ung kilig at chemistry ng tambalan nila sa movie very natural at hindi pilit! Kikiligin at hahangaan mo sila at the same time! They were truly very promising and they proved that they were two of the best actors in their generation! I even seeing KathNiel or Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla on them! Actually pag pinikit ko ang mga mata ko, naririnig ko sila Kathryn at Daniel sa kanila - kaboses nila! And just like KathNiel, magagaling din silang mga batang artista! Malayo pa talaga ang mararating ng mga batang ito at mas sisikat pa sila in the future! Good job FranSeth!

Let me also share with you my full live coverage videos during the Grand Media Conference of "My Future You" where FranSeth answered thrilling questions from the media but at the same time, Francine and Seth answered all questions in full honesty. Here they go:
The movie runs for almost two hours but there is no dull or boring moments on this runtime. Every scene in the movie is worth-watching! The story, the flow, and the plot twist are well-explained!
