Better than Inception
By RedValleyJohn (136 reviews) from Biggleswade , 23 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
It was inevitable that there would be comparisons with The Adjustment Bureau and last year's big hit Inception. Both are about changing time , perception and fate but there is one big difference between both of the films and that is that The Adjustment Bureau is better .
This film is not complicated at all , despite being far fetched and at no time do you think ' What the hell is going on here' as i did with Inception.
Sure , it does not have the fantastic special affects but to be honest , affects are not good when the plot is a mess.
Matt Damon plays a politician who meets a beautiful woman and it's love at first sight. The problem is the Bureau can't let it progress because it's not part of the plan.
I really enjoyed Matt Damon's performance as well as Emily Blunt's and Anthony Mackie's .
It's the kind of film that does not patronise the audience with a plot that needs several viewing to understand it and it's not too long either.
Well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

(121)romance with thrill
By louies (10 reviews) , 21 May 2013i have a little bit of mixed emotions watching this film mostly because i'm not use to watching matt damons in this kind of super in-love type of guy which makes the story a little cheeky but having said that, i still like it because it has thrill in a romantic sense.. the message of the film was delivered and easy to follow too!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Saccharine, puerile Hollywood garbage
By monkey_magic (19 reviews) , 15 May 2013Another day another dollar and another absurd, weak-minded romance is churned out from the Hollywood money machine. This film is an affront to anybody who values film-craft, a blunt insult to the intelligence. If you wants to see similar themes properly used in a sci-fi scenario, and without the bowel-looseningly saccharine romantic froth, watch Dark City.- Was this review helpful to you?

A modern day love story.
By a customer , 14 May 2013A modern day love story. Great! Fantastical plot/story. Exciting, fast pace. I had seen it before, that I realised after the first couple of scenes but watched again anyway. Just as good second time around.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not what I was expecting
By Happy_Giraffe (1 review) , 14 May 2013This film really wasn't what I was expecting, a mix between City of Angels and Inception. A Romantic thriller I guess. It's the words 'I guess' there that sums the film up, It seemed to be confused as to what type of film it wanted to be and ended up being a bit of nothing. This is way off being an awful film, I quite liked the chemistry between the 2 main characters and the acting was pretty good. It's just that by the end you switch it off and have dismissed it within about 5 minutes. If you have nothing else to watch, then give it a go, it's probably one of those films you really have to decide for yourself, but I don't see it being in the good bracket for most people.- Was this review helpful to you?
