did no one else at the wedding think 'love will tear us apart' was a weird choice for their first dance as a married couple???

The ethics of this are concerning.

I think I prefer the other movie about Rachel McAdams being married to a time traveler.

the time traveler’s wife (2009): who are you?
about time (2013): I’m you, but stronger
Review by Harrison Wade ★

The only interesting idea that can be pulled from this movie is if someone told you as a child that they were from the future and that you would end up married, and constantly hammered that into your head while you grew up; would you marry them because that's how the future works or because they kinda forced themselves upon you emotionally when you were only five or six years old?

Personally offended by the fact that they removed the scene in the book where Henry has sex with himself as a teenager from this film

Happy Birthday Rachel McAdams
The Time Traveler's Wife is a story that feels interesting in a sense that it will hold onto its romance and uniqueness of it. But the struggle of this movie lies within its dialogues and not holding onto its precious moments between Henry and Clare.
Henry as you can guess from the movie's title is a time traveler. He meets Clare when she is just a child and tells her that he can time travel. After years they meet again and Clare explains him everything and how they met and how many times over the years. They are already in love and marry soon. But the problem is always Henry's time travel which can be at…

Film # 48 December Challenge 2017
Robert Schwentke's The Time Travelers's Wife is one of those romantic science fiction films that come along very rarely without any fanfare. Although released much earlier, this reminds me of The Age Of Adaline, another film with similar DNA, but with a old romantic's heart attached to it. It's an unconventional love story, one that engages, without giving any real answers for why Eric Bana's Henry time travels throughout his life, arriving naked in various locations that seem to be linked to his past. Rachel McAdams plays his wife, who he meets as a young girl when he time travels into her life as a fully grown man, and that's where the science fiction…

On an ethical and legal aspect this movie was very concerning
Review by movieandbooksg ★★★

This is a decent story but I just wish we knew more about his travels instead of just times with his wife. Also its kinda creepy how he basically kept seeing her as a child like I get it was his future wife but still creepy
Review by MoneyBum ★★★

The story is pretty interesting although some of the time traveling doesn't make sense, how does one thing come before the other thing if it didn't even exist in the past technically, stuff like that can be a bit distracting but other than that the time traveling aspect was done well enough
The characters feel like they are on a predestined events and actions so it does sometimes feel like they don't have a free will because of all the time traveling stuff but it does make sense mostly as to why they are that way it is just not as engaging because it is all absolutes
The whole doctor character is pretty pointless well most of the side characters…
Review by gio :) ★★★½

This movie was one of the most interesting ive seen on the time travel stuff because it was just something genetically whacked instead of the usually very tuned into sci-fi. Really enjoyed it
Review by Dustin Hadden ★★½

The overall story was actually pretty decent and the final chapters of the film are depressing as fuck. But maaaaaan. The pedophilic subplot kinda threw me off. I think Clare has Stockholm Syndrome.
Also I know I’m not the first to say this but how can Rachel McAdams get cast as the time travellers love interest THREE TIMES.

Middle aged man is a little too obsessed with Rachel McAdam's 18th birthday
Review by Tom Guier ★★★

Doesn't hold a candle to the book, but McAdams and Bana are stupid good looking, so that helps quite a bit.
Review by Kristopher Pistole ★★½

Imagine having to name your child Poopy Mcfarts because you met them in the future and that’s their name.
