Really enjoyed this Romantic Sci Fi Chase Movie.
The story is very simple, as in Matt Damon's character has his life mapped out and has a Pre Determined role in the world, and to keep things running he has a secret group of people to make sure it stays that way. And then he meets a girl....
And from there the mind games and chases begin.
The film is Inventive, Intelligent but also lots of Fun.
The central relationship between Mat Damon and Emily Blunt is very Natural & Convincing and that's what pulls you into the movie.
Both Actors are on Fine form. The effects are very slick but not over the top, and the design of the movie is very Cool.
Director George Nolfi may be one to watch out for.
Highly recommended
An excellent movie from start to finish and to put the idea to bed this is very lightly a sci fi with a bit of romance but it is mostly a thriller in which Matt Damon tries to escape his witten path to be with Emily Blunt and in doing so making the Adjustment Bureau step in and intercept his path. I can understand the comparisons with "Inception" but this has no similarities with the "Bourne Trilogy" whatsoever. I thought the plot was well thought out which gave us an enjoyable story and the acting from Damon, Blunt and the Bureau members was excellent and to the point of their characters...definately one of the best movies for the first third of 2011 so far. Enjoy
If you enjoyed Inception you'll like the Adjustment Bureau. Great acting and good special effects. A well considered and original plot. Highly recommended!! :)
if your owt like me you'll find this a Really top film, clever and original but easy to follow!!, not as far fetched as inception, It draws you in and makes you believe. Your not left feeling let down or clueless like inception or some other out of the box movies its all explained with a great finish and top cast, matt Damon rocks in this!!, best film iv seen in awhile! Well worth a watch!!
I just gotta set the records straight. On front cover of the movie The Adjustment Bureau is described by Total Film as "Bourne Meets Inception" the only thing this movie has in common with that excellent spy trilogy is Matt Damon, but I can go along with Inception, but not on the same scale as 2010's summer mind melter.
Infact The Adjustment Bureau is a mix of all types of movies, that deals with a fixed destiny as unseen forces steer Matt Damon's fate, until he meets the beaultiful Emily Blunt and Damon's fate stumbles of the pre-planned path. The chemstry between Damon and Blunt is brilliant as the fall for each other before the mysteriouse men in hats start to conspire to split the two lovers apart at any cost so Damon can get back on the set path of his all important destiny.
The film surprised me because this is a perfect date movie, it's got something in for everybody. The sci-fi elements work well, and the final half hour has a great chase through the streets and between the doorways of New York, but the real backbone to the film is the love story that never is sloppy but every moment between Damon and Blunt rings true.
The film is very well directed and I'm sure if you wanted to be picky you could pick plot holes in the story big enough to drive a truck through, but on the whole this is a very original film that everybody should enjoy.
See if you like......
