| The
Adjustment Bureau is a romance more than a science fiction
thriller. That's not to say the Twilight Zone aspects of the movie aren't still there, but are reduced to the background -- and always planning ways to change things in a person's life. I found this film emotionally satisfying -- some viewers may come for the sci-fi premise, but most will stay because of the love story. |
Beware the men in hats! It's sci-fi with a romantic twist as Philip K. Dick's short story about Earth-bound guardians makes its way to the big screen. Chance encounters continually upset the complex matrix of the future as a Congressman running for the Senate encounters the woman of his dreams. Was it meant to be or are there mysterious forces at work? And the biggest question of all is: will love win out? |
The
Adjustment Bureau is an action romance imaginative fantasy movie. I liked the way the conflict developed between the two lead stars and the science fiction mind-control adjusters. That's when the problems and action begin -- when the main characters fall in love they mess up everything, according to plans of the undercover agents and chairman of the adjustment board. This creates a real struggle between free will and predestination and gives you something to think about when you leave the theater. |
