The Time Traveler's Wife


A friend of mine showed me the trailer of The Time Traveler's Wife a while ago and it seemed like a great movie. Back then it was still far away, but not anymore: it will be in cinemas by november 12th.

The Story: Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) seems an ordinary man with an ordinary job. He works in a library in Chicago, but he suffers from a weird illness: against his will he travels through time. Of course that is difficult for his job and social life: in the present as well as in the past.
During one of his travels Henry meets the beautiful Clare (Rachel McAdams). She recognizes him as her true love and they work hard to maintain their relationship. It's difficult however to do that with Henry travelling to the pas occassionally before he gets back to her after an unknown period of time.


Yes it does remind you of Benjamin Button. Some say it's a better version, others say worse. I haven't seen it so I have no idea, but one thing is certain: this can be an entertaining  movie if you let it.
Critics say that it is hard to get sometimes. Some things just don't make sense and they get stuck in your head for at least three days after you've seen it. Thank god for all those (weird) guys who  make websites entirely devoted to this stuff.

And here's the trailer:
