Very intriguing and enjoyable film

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2011)

I'm not sure what this movie is. A romance? Yes. Science fiction? Yes. Thriller? Yes. Religious theme? Yes. Political drama? Yes.
Maybe its split personality is why I liked it so much. It has elements of all those themes in it. I thought Matt Damon and Emily Blunt were fantastic in this film, and I have to admit that although I have long liked Damon's acting, I'm not always pleased with the roles he takes on. I wasn't familiar with Anthony Mackie, but I enjoyed his performance, as well. And, cameo appearances are always fun, and the number in this film are staggering and intriguing because they are mostly political figures.
The one thing I didn't like was how the film ended...suddenly (as too many films do end today), and I guess God (that was the power here...wasn't it?) just gave up and let the leads have their way with their love. Hmmmmmmmm. Did David become President? A flash forward would have been great. Oh, any BTW, if it was God, wouldn't he have been at the top of the Empire State Building? ;-)
