Thanks for the memories!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Blake Lively fulfills a blissful character to whom's life swiftly becomes almost unbelievable. A beautiful approach to a love story indeed. This film also enlightens the viewer with an insight to many historical backgrounds.
This time I haven't scrolled through the Reviews, except to notice that the first few gave high rankings. I have to admit I found this Netflix film only from my wish to see Michiel Huisman again after my first experience of him in The Otterman Lieutenant - as a lover of romanticism (and of Turkey) who can suspend political-historical factism for the sake of a moving story. I realise The Age of Adaline gave much evidence of high quality filmic skills, but the plot/story was not for me. Ellis is a lovely man, and apart from the unlikely coincidences, the meeting and pursuing of Adaline (Jenny) was effective enough. That's about it.I have no idea if the nerdy voice-over has any veracity or not, but it didn't convince me and I am never a target for fantasy-science fiction - even less so if it's dressed up as romance/love. (Maybe ET was an exception way back!) So sadly I have to give a low score. The logic from me is that I wouldn't recommend it to friends. Despite the fine acting, the sheer fantasy of it all didn't jell for me apart from a sort of satisfaction that it ended suitably.
At the beginning, this story may seem to be another cheesy and repeated love story; however, the actor's non-overplayed roles draw you in the story, making this two-hour film go by really fast. Whoever wrote this did it very well since the story does not fall into nonsense romantic drama and endless love stories. It keeps a fascinating tension throughout it that makes it at times pleasing to watch.You may wonder why I'm rating this with 8 instead of 10, and the reason is that there is no perfect movie, and this one has some timeline flaws, specifically, Adelaine's timeline is not clear though.
A great idea for a movie that is kind of ruined by the corny, cliché lines that just make you cringe. I was first drawn to this movie as i thought the story line looked unique and i jump at the opportunity to watch a movie that i haven't seen 100 times before. However, there were a lot of times where the execution of this story was overshadowed by feelings of utter cringe at the two love birds awfully written flirting one liners and smart remarks. The writer was trying to make the characters appear as witty as possible but it just made the romance unrelatable and robotic.
