The Time Traveler's Wife [DVD] [2009] (DVD)

Good condensed version of the book Great film. I was a bit unsure whether I would like it having loved the book but the film was great. Obviously they have had to condense the book to fit the length of a film.

Romance with a nice a dose of Sci-Fi thrown in for good measure. I'm use to seeing Eric Bana star in action films such as "Troy" and "The Hulk" yet he still holds the screen very well in The Time Traveler's Wife which shows he is a good actor. Rachel McAdams is the wife to Eric Bana who has no control over where or when he is going to time travel. The story is very gripping and at times complex. I did find it a bit slow at times and wanted a more happy ending but I was a bit tired and feeling a bit blue when I was watched it. I'm a big sci-fi fan so having the time travelling mixed into a serious romantic film made it more enjoyable for me and just maybe his daughter could change the outcome if there was a sequel to be made. Anyway The Time Traveler's Wife is a romantic film in which both men and women will enjoy.

very weird film ! I saw this film at the cinema and regret it! I've not read the book and wouldn't want to after seeing the film. Everything was wrong - story /plot/acting - couldn't not work it out!

Fantastic Film......in it's own entity..... I usually approach a film before reading the book, as I always feel you get the best from both that way around. Unfortunatly, out of recommendation from a freind, I chose to read "The Time Traveller's Wife" before watching the film adaptation. While I wasn't massively disappointed in the film, it wasn't quite as good as I anticipated from watching the trailers, which had me literally on the edge of my seat. Perhaps it was because I already knew what was to come, from reading the book. I thought Eric Bana did a great job as Henry, and the characters of Alba and Clare were also well portrayed. It was full of emotion, and the direction was fantastic. The chemistry between the two main characters was apparent, but I felt, in places, lacking. The film seems to concentrate less on Clare as a child, and I felt the relationship between the too seemed shorter somehow, as if they hadn't quite fully connected. I thought it seemed a little sketchy on details, and seemed to skip a little too much backwards and forwards, which is OK in the book, as you can re-read parts that don't make sense, but here it sometimes seemed to have a scene missing. Overall, I thought this was a really good film, defiantly one that I would recommend, even if it is not quite as perfect as the book, it makes for fantastic viewing in it's own entity!

The Time Traveler's Wife DVD I really enjoyed the book and this DVD of the story really brought it to life for me. The subject was handled in a very sympathetic way and produced a really enjoyable movie. I recommend it any one who enjoyed the book of the story
