The Adjustment Bureau

[Ozone]

Certainly not Bourne meets the Matrix as advertised.

Slow going but strangely captivating, you seem to be waiting for some action to happen that doesn't.

I like Philip K Dick stories and this had some interesting ideas but i came away underwhelmed.

The OH described it as a TV movie, you don't need to see it on the big screen.

I rather enjoyed it, but it's more the kind of thing you'd watch on Sky or via rental from iTunes rather than schlepping off to the cinema. It's more a romantic drama with a supernatural twist than full on Bourne 'st blowing up' fest, which I hoped it might be. But I've seen far worse films this year!

OOhh the absolute boredom watching this film. Started promisingly and then got boringly stupid romatic tosh.

Saw it last night. My review: "Meh"


Didn't realise it was a Philip K Dick.

I'm agreeing with most of the comments. It's a bit difficult to describe, but it's a bit of a romantic supernatural thriller.

The story is nothing like "The Time Travellers Wife" but I would put them in the same pigeon hole.

Thanks guys. Was planning on seeing this over the weekend but am not so sure now.

I'm normally suspicious about these 'X meets Y' claims and your opinions seem to confirm my suspicions. Cheers

Worth a watch,but...

They should have cut to the credits when they went through the door turning the handles the wrong way together.

It would have vastly improved the film.

It is absolute boring romantic tosh with an ending that is beyond a joke. The trailer is very very misleading.

[Fatman2]

Dohh. The missus insisted on going to see this on Saturday and despite my protests (and my sharing the PH reviews) she was having none of it.

I'm a pretty laid back/patient kind of chap but found this film pretty dire with the most contrived storyline that I've seen for some time. It was like a cut/paste of about 10 different films, none of which should have been put together.

I think youngsyr has got it spot on. They should have opened the bloody door straight to the friggin credits

[youngsyr]

Note the spoiler warning above!

Overall I didn't think it was that bad, but the ending let it down majorly.

Despite the somewhat laboured plot devices (hats? water? ), it seemed to be building quite nicely to a dramatic climax, which just fizzled out.

They should have just left the ending to the imagination or come up with something better.

Was based on a short story and should ahve stayed that way; interesting concept but the film was padded out with mush and ended up going nowhere.
