After a long time I really across a very interesting sci-fi thriller ... even Inception does not remotely come close to this one. Anyway ... I am not comparing this one to Inception. The Adjustment Bureau is a different league altogether. If you love sci-fi thrillers this is one movie you simply can not afford to ignore. Like it or not that is a different issue, you can't ignore this one. What's the movie all about? Well ... it's a bit complicated like the Matrix to explain in a few lines but to give you the idea lets just say there are people who are controlling each and every move of us and humans as a race as if it's a real-time strategy game being played out. There is a strategic plan behind what we do and what we do not do as individuals and if we try deviating from the pre-defined plan the Adjustment guys kick in to rectify the course to make sure everything goes as per a master plan. If that sounds interesting ... you really have to watch this one to else skip it like one of my friend who could not sit through even half the movie and was desperately waiting for the movie to get over. Loved the chemistry between Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, Matt sure has delivered brilliant performance ... I say better than Bourne albeit Matt now looks a bit oldish ... but what the heck I loved the movie. Fast moving script, brilliant direction and oh wait a min ... Thomas Newman delivers music for the movie ... you know the first thing I did after I watched the movie was go hunting for the OST and finally laid my hands on the soundtrack ... truly mind-blowing music :-)
Final-word: Must watch if you love sci-fi Matrix, Inception kinda movies ... else ... skip it ... not worth your time and money.

The first half was interesting. Great onscreen chemistry between Matt and Emily but other than that the movie was passe.
ReplyDeleteThe second half......Wow!! Every 10 mins I kept peeping at the run time, waiting desperately for the movie to end. Somehow couldn't digest the fact that the supernatural Adjustment Bureau "Angels" were made to look like white collar guys working for uber cool Fortune 500 companies.
