Another New York Times Bestseller makes a leap onto the big screen. The Time Traveler's Wife is a story about Clare (Rachel McAdams) who has been in love with Henry (Eric Bana) her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler-cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through the years with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, and never knowing when they will be reunited, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love.
As a person who has both read the book and seen the movie I must say, not a bad job. It is quite obvious from the beginning the great chemistry between McAdams and Bana. I think that the movie was as similar to the book as it could have been. Considering that it's Hollywood, it had to cut out some parts and adapt things here and there to keep the audiences attention, but still I was not disappointed. I listened around me in the theater to women blowing their noses and sniffling, and it was quite evident that the passion between the characters Clare and Henry that radiates from the book had found its way onto the screen. Mind you, before you see the movie I suggest getting your mind prepared for understanding time travel and the space time continuum, but other than that I would suggest this movie. Anyone whose looking for a love story that is not at all sappy and with actors you can't help but love check out The Time Traveler's Wife.
