New Movie Review: The Time Traveler's Wife


I just saw the new movie, The Time Traveler's Wife.

It was an interesting movie, to say the least, about a man with a gene that causes him to travel through time. The problem? He can't control when and where he goes.

Eric Bana played the part of Henry (the time traveler) well, but at moments he almost seemed lazy in the role. During the entire movie he kept well in character, he just didn't push it to the limits.

Playing opposite him, Rachel McAdams, was very real in the role of Claire Abshire. She was able to bring her emotions through her character with much talent. Every thought seemed clear to me as her character developed. Very well done performance.

Overall the supporting cast was good. Nothing special to report on anyone in particular.

The film itself was enjoyable, but lacking.

There was not many special aspects about this film that would set it apart from any other film. It was enjoyable, I enjoyed it. It just was not anything special. I could not really feel for any of the characters or situations, and there were many little scenes that were filler.

If you just want to see a movie for the heck of seeing a movie, this is good for you. However, if you want to see something that will move you, try someplace else.

My rating:
[2.5/5]
