Love story wrapped in a science fiction shell

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2011)

When the upcoming young politician David Norris (Matt Demon) is about to lose his biggest election he unexpectedly meets with a young ballerina named Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt). They both realize that something ticked between them that very moment but for some reason they get separated. Again meeting her coincidently on the bus starts to change David's life dramatically. Yet he fails to keep in touch with her. And soon David realized that there is a strange force working behind all this and that force is not letting him to get to know Elise. And when David and Elise starts to fight this force in the name of love things get a little out of hand.
The Adjustment Bureau is a love story wrapped in a science fiction shell. And it unique but makes little sense at the start. But when the story rolls on, the viewer has to decide many things by themselves and following the lead roles to find out their fate in all this.
The movie provides ample space to wonder about for theories. Some may call them religious and some may call it fate or even just pure sci fi phenomenon. Whatever it is there is a wonderful vibe to it from the beginning to the end.
Performances by the lead roles are quite heartwarming. For Matt this looks like a fresh role which he executes well. And for Emily she just floors the audience with her sharp features and breathtaking dance moves. Some of the dance sequences are just bliss to witness. There is a strong message in the movie. About human emotions and feelings and the choices we make, and how it all shapes our future knowing or otherwise.
