The Time Traveler's Wife by Robert Schwentke

Category: English

The movie features Eric Bana as a man who suffers from a strange genetic disorder that makes him travel through time. Rachel MacAdams plays the love of his life who has waited her entire life.

The movie falls apart at several places, even despite the presence of some capable acting talent there's almost nothing can do with such a weak script. Fans of the book even claim that the dialogues and scripting in general is very weak and thus is not even close to the book.

For me personally the movie is very flat at places, since I have never read the book it's almost impossible for me to contextualize it so I suppose aside from Rachel McAdams no one really stands out. Eric Bana's acting talent disappears every time his on screen persona takes a journey through time.

Recommendation level: 1.5/5 - There's some novelty value and of course 1 star for Rachel McAdams. Even fans of sappy love movies will find themselves walking out sooner than the movie ends.
