Fantastic!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
"The adjustment team" is the title of a short story by the author Philip K. Dick.. science fiction story about a world where changes or adjustments in people's lives are made by a team called "the adjustment team".. There was an unfortunate one person who witnessed the change and promised to be kept unchanged only if he do not tell any one about what he saw.. so he tried to do so and "the adjustment team" helped him to keep him away from telling anybody about it.. the endNow for this movie... the main core idea is there but with extension to what our protagonist is about, where substantial time spent to showcase his career life and his love life.. it is basically a romantic movie with a slight portion of science fiction and some thrill included. The short story was good, straightforward, and into the point.. while this movie uses the main core idea from Philip K. Dick, it does not give the same satisfaction as the short story does.
Nope. Don't like it. Apart from slow-moving, too much happens by chance. The film is also too much "about the girl" and not even romantic at that. Not a film I'd want to see again.
The movie starts out great. I thought it was going to be Jason Bourne vs. The Matrix. As it turns out if was a bizarre love story involving fate. Matt Damon, due to an oversleeping "angel" or controller accidentally discovers that "God" aka "chairman" (apparently Frank Sinatra took over that spot) has a master plan for humans because we can't do anything right on our own. The chairman uses "angels" to control the outcome of major events in the world by tweaking people's thoughts and sometimes causing accidents and deaths.Matt meets a girl and they immediately hit it off, however they were never supposed to meet again as that would change the game plan. When they do, it sends ripples through that ultimate game plan, apparently flexibility is not one of the Chairman's virtues. The movie is about them trying to be together vs. fate keeping them apart. It is perhaps more of a love story than anything else. For people who believe in a higher power, it is as thought provoking as the book of Job.This movie has no great special effects as Matrix, no fast speed fighting, no great sound track, no nudity, no sex (just implied) and I don't recall any F-bombs.
Interesting story line which people allways asking often how life are going next when we do and don't something. I thinking about the true man show and ethernal sunshine of the spotless mind. It is a good and great one story for me. Sometime you will doubt what is life go on :)
