This movie is bad! period

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2011)

Let me start saying that whoever says this movie would remind them of Dark City (which is an excellent movie) would be completely ashamed for associating a great movie, like Dark City, with a bad one i.e AB. I really thought this would be somehow either a remake or inspired by Dark City: man walks in on a team of people who froze time and are messing around with people's heads, man was not suppose to see that (indeed no human was suppose to see that) and it basically goes from there, some love, some action, thrill... Well Dark city was very philosophical, had to do with aliens and humans being test subjects (actually many speculate that the people were never ever on earth, they probably were born there generations after generations, and never set foot on earth, more like lab animals...), well the Adjustment Bureau took the "main" idea of the premise of Dark City but went in a different direction, i.e, love and passion can overcome destiny and basically the old question of free will vs determination and can you defy your destiny and write it yourself or is it imposed upon you...Concepts are very deep and controversial BUT movie was a joke, did not deliver and for many parts it felt like I was watching a Walt Disney movie (especially when they informed the audience that they definitely can NOT let them kiss, reminded me of Arial in the little mermaid where she needed a kiss to get her voice back or whatever and the villain's main job was to prevent that kiss...). And seriously? you are basically told that if you do not stay with that certain person, not only that person's long life dreams will come true, you WILL change the world to a better place. So instead of giving in and sticking to "Let's change the world and probably save millions of lives in the future... and make earth a better place" AND let that person have whatever they wished for, and consider this a good memory that would stay with you forever, and who knows, you may manage to be friends in the future... NO, let me be as stubborn as humanly possible and be a selfish S.O.B and stick with that person. Not only that, he did not even give her a choice! (Did not tell her that she WILL be the best ever and live all her dreams and that he WILL change the world)... So dumb, selfish and stupid. The only thing that would have made this movie better is that the cut scene at the end of the movie would showed them (say few years later) divorced and of course none of them have achieved anything. And then the moral would be "don't be an idiot and stop being selfish!". You know, something like the ending of "The Mist" where after killing 2 people and his son (fearing for their lives from the noises they kept on hearing), it turned out that those noises were basically salvation...So he should not have acted out and given up so soon...
