Review of The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) by Asif K — 19 Sep 2011

EDITED.

A Chicago librarian suffers from a rare genetic disorder that sends him hurtling through time whenever he is under extreme duress; despite the fact that he vanishes at inordinately frequent and lengthy intervals, he attempts to build a stable future with the beautiful young heiress he loves. Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams star in this dramatic fantasy, which is directed by Robert Schwentke and based on the best-selling book by author Audrey Niffenegger.

Starring, Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana, Arliss Howard, Ron Livingston, Stephen Tobolowsky , Jane McLean , Brooklyn Proulx.

Directed by Robert Schwentke, who directed Flightplan and Red.

Well I the only reason I wanted to watch this movie was the first look, it just touched me. I was like really kind of crazy for this movie until I watched it. I was convinced that it was not well made but these Romantic Dramas with sad endings always touches you don't they? and on top of that it had a sci fi angle to it.

Now this is based on a best selling novel that I haven't read but people say it is so touching and good. and I am sure it is but the movie does not really take much from it. it in man points seems very bland and dull like an assignment done in a hurry.

Directed in a very poor way as usual. screenplay was very bad and dull. plot thins at so man places. look of the movie is good with nice cinematography and art direction and other things. a nice cliched rom drama score with terible editing. Eric Bana does look good alot and kind of gave an okay performance. Rachel McAdams though is very good looking but she was not very much good in it though they both looked very good together.

This movie involves time travelling by the lead character in a way he visits many places in his past and future, so he meets the people in his life repeatedly while those characters are aware of it. I liked it but it wasn't shown that good. it is confusing at times but if you watch it again, you will understand. the story overall is nice and if you may read it, it would be wonderful but the movie may satisfy romantic drama lovers like me in a least possible way but will fail to impress the actual movie buffs like me. I have seen it 3 or 4 times and I still get emotional and feel for the characters but I never felt anything for the movie.

A touching, sad, sci fi romantic drama with time travel is a good material presented badly on screen situation. poorly done but a nice time pass for lazy afternoons or a date movie.
