Different

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2008)

I found the movie very different and that's the only way I can describe it (I mean it in a good sense). The idea was fresh and new, not based on the usual movie plots.
The movie was admittedly long but kept me hooked on until the end, just curious to find out what Ben Buttons would look like when he reaches the last stage of his life. I have to admit again, it was peculiar to see him as a baby in the end, trying to imagine him being 80+ years old but then again, I guess they couldn't have finished it anyway differently unless they made Ben Button's final stage of life a mystery. There was a moral in the film and it did make you realize how we take things for granted, like the people we love or the little moments in life for which we should be grateful for.
Overall, I would recommend this movie to all ages. It's worth watching!
