My Review
Source Material: Based on a book with same title written by Audrey Niffenegger.
Acting and Dialogue: B+: I did like both leads. Eric Bana puts out a good performances for most of his roles, like wise for Rachel McAdams.
Art Direction: B: I like the garden scenes the most or any scene that highlighted nature.
Cinematography: B: I felt like the film did alright overall.
Direction: B: Robert Schwentke is still kind of new at filmmaking. The only film of his besides this one I have scene/ heard of is Flightplan...so his newness shows.
Screenplay: C: I am going to bet the book is way better because I didn't get a emotional connection toward the characters and or the story.
Sound and Music: C: not very noticable, in my opinion.
VFX: B: I liked the disappearing acted but it got to repetitive.
Overall: B-: The best way to enjoy this film will most likely be on a date because of the romantic fell of the film. But I don't think I could recommended it as a stand alone film.
