The Time Traveler's Wife

Read the book and loved it. Therefore did not expect much from film. Certainly changes were made but the essence of the book remained. Acting was beautiful and poignant. I had been told it was hard to follow, however I did not find this at all. I cried, daughter cried and son got something in his eye! Both are now fighting to borrow the book!

Cute romantic drama

I enjoyed watching this movie, and the end almost made me cry. A really beautiful, romantic drama. I would recommend watching it for all women (or men, who like romantic dramas)

I have not read the book before watching the movie, but i understood everything, i think the plot is clear.

About the bluray dics: i was very disappointed by what it had to offer. When you insert the disc, you have to watch three trailers, lasting over ten minutes. Then there is no menu, the film starts playing straight away. Later i was able to find a menu of some sort, but there is no BD LIVE option and no extras menu. I'd expect more from a BRD!

Enjoyable chick flick

The Time Traveler's (or Traveller's) Wife is undoubtedly a chick-flick. It's enjoyable enough, a little confusing (I kept analysing the timeline of the traveller(s) throughout the film and worrying about matter occupying the same time and space), but ok enough - certainly good for watching with your other half. Do keep the tissues handy though.

I am told that the book of the same name is very good and that the film is a good adaptation of it - there are bits missing, but nothing too significant other than one scene in a cage in the middle of a stairwell.

When the book was first described to me, I thought the whole thing sounded very dodgy - it sounded like a time traveller grooming a young girl until she became his wife. However, the film did not feel like that, even if analysing it does leave a lingering doubt. Instead, it came across as innocent and romantic, with past events simply occurring in order to finish at a known future point. Admittedly, it was predictable in a confusing timeline sort of way, but still enjoyable enough.

Great Book Great Movie

It was a difficult decision whether to read the book or watch the movie first. In the end, I read the book first knowing that most of the time, the movie would not live up to the book. But surprisingly, I found that I still loved the movie, the lead performances were great and Eric Bana really was Henry to me. There were some changes to the storyline, the ending was tweaked, some violent and darker moments of the book were toned down but I felt that the book and the movie really complemented each other nicely and I would do (read/watch) both again! I guess the only gripe I have is the movie was rather short, I would have enjoyed more of it. Extended edition, anyone?

Time Travelers wife...

I bought this film for valantines day for me and my girlfriend to cuddle up and watch. This film is ideal if you want a film to watch while cuddiling up to your other half and i would highly recomend it for that purpose.

however i would not recomend it for people to watch on there own.
