Simply Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2011)

Basically, I didn't' know what was going to happen in the plot, I thought it would be another one of those tiring political thrillers, but it's completely upside down, I didn't expected that it would be so different and that the next minutes of watching this film would be another great experience. This film is plain fantastic. This is an outstanding romance/sci-fi film, without being too romantic and too science fictional. It isn't perfect, there might be some plot holes, but I just got tired of finding one in this film, because it appears all my questions had disappeared right after it ended, and when I though about it again my questions were answered when I tried to investigate deeper. Just one question remains, were they that advance in technology during early times, were they using those notebooks way way back then. But that question is just for being curious. But if you find one or more plot holes, I will remind you that there isn't a perfect plot, especially if it's a complicated one, so why spend so much time finding a smudge in a plot when you can't even start up your own beautiful idea. This film reminds me of Wings of Desire and Bruce Almighty, and a little bit of Dark City. I love fantasy or science fiction films that doesn't detach itself from reality, for example Nolan's Inception, these kind of films can build up a notion in your mind that maybe it's real, it's not impossible in a world like this, yes it can be true, but no one knows, and it's more likely to be impossible but it can be possible nonetheless. Now, The Adjustment Bureau is a heart-pumping suspense thriller too, it goes so far for being an adrenaline rush without using any type of guns at all, which is unusual in action movies. But can it be called an action movie, I wouldn't call it one, but it's far more exciting than trigger-happy action movies. The running scenes are far more better than car chases. I will not elaborate the story, but it does have a religious blend. But what I like about it very much is, it didn't advertise nor did it destroy one's faith. It's just fair. It's engaging, moving, affecting, sometimes a bit hilarious, and there is a point that it's a bit depressing too, it's an edge-of-your-seat thriller, and it is insightful too, all these great things in one film. I love the story, the plotting, the writing, and directing, it's not the greatest film, but why should I not rank it among the best. I will not let any critics or friends influence me in the way I rate a film or a movie, I'm going to be honest from now on. I love this kind of work, it rejuvenates my soul, it makes me smile inside, it's a relief from a hard life, and the stress is gone for a while. I love great films. I can't, I wouldn't let anyone stop me from watching films.
