Last night, I took one for the team and watched "The Time Traveler's Wife".
I'm gonna catch flak for this but it wasn't half bad. I tell you what...Rachel McAdams has become one of my favorite female actors. Natural beauty right there.
As far as the story, it will definitely get confusing if you aren't paying attention as the main character (Eric Bana) bounces around quite a bit.
When I got home from work last night my wife was watching this. She was about 40 minutes into and my nephew and I had to wait till she was done with it to do our workout cause she had the TV and DVD player tied up obviously.
Anyway....SNOOZE. The stupid character in the movie bounced around so much that it was just way to random and way to confusing (cause at points in the film he's in the present time more than once. Meaning a past self of his and a future self of his are both traveling into the present time) and distracting.
Everything from that point in the movie, to the end, that we saw just seemed extremely random and most of the time quite pointless. There were a few scenes where his travels to different times made sense to something that was going on in his present life but most of it was just...boring.
It's certainly not the worst show I've ever seen (I'm not sure that anything will ever top the Talented Mr. Ripley for that honor. *Shudders at the mere thought of that stupid film* ) but it was just painfully boring.
