An odd romantic story, with some mystery/sciencefiction elements. Watchable because of the wonderful actors, good direction and a lovely romantic feel good vibe.

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2019)

Story wise this movie has got a very odd combination of a sci-fi / mystery story, an action story and a romantic story. In the end it is nothing in particular and it is a bit of everything. Still a pleasurable watch though. The story? Well, Matt Damon falls in love with Emily Blunt, but a certain futuristic organisation specialised in mindcontrol wants to prevent these 2 from falling in love with each other, because it would cause a "ripple effect" in history. Will they become lovers anyway, despite the odds against them, or wont they?
Yes, I know, this story sounds silly and it is and I had my trepidations, but this rather silly story is executed in a reasonably enjoyable fashion. And what appears to be silly or weird at the beginning, starts to make sense in the end. (Cant reveal any spoilers). I guess this movie was marketed at a younger audience, because of the lovely romantic story AND because of the lack of any violence or swearing.
End conclusion: mixed bag. Certainly not bad, yet nothing terrific either. It toddles along nicely, entertaining me from beginning to end. Some might find the story ridiculous and annoying. Others (hopefully) will find enjoyment in it as a sweet and romantic action story. Best not raise your hopes up high for this movie, it will prevent disappointment. Suited for family viewing, young and old, because there is no gruesome violence (besides a punch here and there), there is no swearing etc and the story is very lovely in nature.
