How sad is this?
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
"The adjustment team" is the title of a short story by the author Philip K. Dick.. science fiction story about a world where changes or adjustments in people's lives are made by a team called "the adjustment team".. There was an unfortunate one person who witnessed the change and promised to be kept unchanged only if he do not tell any one about what he saw.. so he tried to do so and "the adjustment team" helped him to keep him away from telling anybody about it.. the endNow for this movie... the main core idea is there but with extension to what our protagonist is about, where substantial time spent to showcase his career life and his love life.. it is basically a romantic movie with a slight portion of science fiction and some thrill included. The short story was good, straightforward, and into the point.. while this movie uses the main core idea from Philip K. Dick, it does not give the same satisfaction as the short story does.
Interesting story line which people allways asking often how life are going next when we do and don't something. I thinking about the true man show and ethernal sunshine of the spotless mind. It is a good and great one story for me. Sometime you will doubt what is life go on :)
If you do not like Philip K Dick, you may find many reasons to not like this film. I do and I really enjoyed it. It's not Blade Runner, but well worth a watch. If you have never heard of PKD and enjoy scifi and fantasy, give it a try.
I will fully admit pushing this from a pretty solid 8 to a 9 because I think it was a little underrated.If you liked Edge of Tomorrow you will like this. I think Emily Blunt has a bit of a niche in Sci-Fi Romance nailed here. Chemistry between Blunt and Damon is nice and I always like Terence Stamp.As an aside I always hesitate watch Matt Damon movies because I think he will annoy me but he always sucks me in... in a good way. I think I conflate him with Brad Pitt which is unfortunate.I marked this as spoiler because it could have worked either way as a sad or uplifting ending and I think what made me jump it up to a nine was because, heck, we all deserve a happy ending once in a while!
