The Worst Film Ever
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I wanted to like this movie but the plot never came to fruition. There was so much that was left unexplained on top of that. The love story itself wasn't beautiful it was confusing and bizarre. I debated reading the book but I don't think it's worth it after watching this.
It's totally and literally mind-blowing time traveling story, I just saw it yesterday as a recommendation of one of my friends. Actually after I saw the movie "Predestination" I was looking for another unique time traveling story for the usual time traveling materials are no more trends.At the beginning you'll feel it's a normal story till you'll be hit by the first unusual fact (The time traveler knows nothing about what will happen) when he met Clare in the library and didn't recognize her however she stated the facts to him. And this is basically the other way around of any other story.You'll be surprised too in the wedding scene where the "Young Henry" disappears leaving his clothes as usual and the older version of him will show with his Grey hair (which was the version she mentioned several times before) and this was obvious in her eyes while approaching him. At the same night you'll be surprised that when Henry left the ceremony traveling back in time he found himself for the first time in the woods in front of the very young version of Clare "5 years old"Moving forward to a very sophisticated scene when they all saw the older version of Henry lying on the floor shot in the belly!! How come all of them saw that? And why? Also it's the first time for Henry seeing the older version! Also when she met "Young Henry" and she got pregnant, It was the first time for her to meet the younger version after both of her and Henry became older and he made the sterilization.The scene when a young kid "Alba" stared at them smiling while they passed through her was so touching (If you'll go for watching the movie again). Also when he met her "Alba" his daughter in the Zoo in the future while she's 10 and he knew that he'll die on her fifth birthday seems kinda normal however you'll be over-thinking how will he be shot? and who will do that? And while thinking of all that you'll get distracted by the scene of older "Alba" walking in the garden with her younger version on her 5th birthday morning informing her that Henry will die soon. After the happening has happened and Clare became a widow you'll thought that's the end but NO!!Apparently he prepared himself well for after death and paid them some future visits and this appears in the final scene after asking Alba how old is she today and she answered 9 he mentioned to Clare that "I left you and Alba is just born", Also he told Clare not to spend all her life waiting for he know they will reach an ending point someday.Honestly this is a piece of art, one of a kind material. I watched the movie two times and I'll believe later on I'll watch it again and again for it rings a hidden bell in my soul
(Warning: Big Spoilers!) The recent short series "Forever" plagiarizes some of the concepts of this movie. (I never read the book). The phenomena is not fully explained and when it is, it's like "Star Trek" Techno-Babble". The Traveler always reappears naked (Eric Bana-The Hulk)) so it's good that he is in great physical shape. Rachel McAdams is amazing. She "smolders". No full frontal nudity. The Time Traveler finds out, after seeking out a skeptical geneticist, that he has a chromosomal mutation, akin to epilepsy, that causes him to often wander helplessly thru time, literally, at the drop of his clothes, which never travel. This leads to a lot of short chases, as he reappears anywhere from meadows to zoo cages to outside buildings, and finds clothes fast. This ultimately leads to his untimely death as he is mistaken for a deer and paradoxically shot by his hunting enthusiast father-in-law. He meets his future wife at (her) age 6 and ultimately marries her. Like the super-hero he is not, only a handful of loyal friends know about his unusual and terrible secret. Thank goodness this film doesn't waste 20 minutes trying to explain the phenomena. (That's what makes the first third of "Somewhere in Time" so boring.) Screenplay by the author of "Ghost" and beautifully filmed in both Chicago and Canada. The colors are rich and sharp, and the film has a haunting quality about it, with several twists and turns, some of which are predictable and others quite surprising. His only offspring also has this "time traveling ability", but she can control it to some extent. He and his young daughter meet themselves coming and going in several situations, without the catastrophic "Time-Space continuum" timequake" shown or predicted in other Sci-Fi films. This is a romantic fantasy, it's not "Quantum Leap"! There is no time machine. Great ending, not unlike "Ghost" when he appears a year after his early death, in the meadow, yet again.
With the exception of my bathroom mirror, I've never seen a naked man put on clothes this many times in my life. Luckily, none of my own incidences involved little girls lurking around.While The Time Traveler's Wife was well shot, had a decent score and an original take on time travel, the movie had some major flaws. Bad acting – mostly by the young daughter, misuse of a good concept, huge plot holes and suggested pedophilia were just a few examples. But nothing beats the worst of all faults Zero chemistry.The entire film centered around two actors who not only looked like they were reading lines from a script, but also were acting towards a green screen and were hoping their ideal mates would be digitally inserted in post. Never once did I feel a connection between the two "soul-mates," and because of this, I could never get behind them or feel any of their anguish. It didn't help that they were just going through the motions of a typical Nicholas Sparks sob story. So, events happened, dialogue was spoken and I still just felt the pain of the miscast leads who clearly wished the other was replaced. Not to mention, while the thought of some kind of life-long love might have seemed pure to the author, it was just so damned creepy when this naked man would stalk either his future wife as a child or his own child later on. No heart, no soul, no surprises No need to waste your time as I did. Especially since I can't go back in time to warn myself.
