5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!   August 19, 2010
S. J. Dunphy (Sussex, UK)
As someone who fell asleep while reading the book I was interested in how I would find the film. The answer is that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was romantic, warm, mystifying and well-structured. I heartily recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Better than the book   August 13, 2010
Cathy
Having read the book, I found the film far more enjoyable.
I found when reading the book, I needed to go back over parts of it, to understand where the story was and where Henry and Claire were.
The film made the story easier to follow and I loved the ending. It had more feeling to it and left you feeling Henry could still appear at any time in the future. It left you with hope and claire with hope.

3 out of 5 stars pleasing film though derivative   August 5, 2010
tell it like it is (UK)
This is a film which will please the non specialist audience (those not particularly au fait with SF concepts like time paradoxes etc)

The plot is obviously non linear and does contradict itself in a couple of places where the time traveller does change the future by winning the lottery. Destiny in the film is set up to be a rigid affair chaos theory and non linearity concepts put aside.

Like Billy Pilgrim from Vonnegut's 'slaughterhouse 5' the time travellers life is a set thing and he merely travels to different episodes in that linear life. The love story which if told in the normal fashion would be fairly mundane and stereotypical but as with the time travellers perception of things this stirs the natural ideas of narrative and ingeniously and creatively makes events in the film more interesting and poignant.

The time travelling love story reminded me in places of Richard Matheson's 'Somewhere in Time' which was also made into a film, but was more successful in tearing at the emotions than this film manages.

The acting is fine, the story is interesting (though ardent SF fans may balk)

Definitely worth watching, a stimulating exercise in working out how all the events in the film must pan out. The love story is entertaining - though not a great work and there is no deep subtext in all of this.

marie-celeste (West Sussex, UK)
Not sure what I was expecting, but by the end of the film I was confused and left with the thought, 'what came first, the chicken or the egg?'

As someone who loves romances etc, I found this quite hard going, to be honest not a film I would go out of my way to watch again.
