The Time Traveler's Wife (DVD) Reviews

After having read the book over and over again because I enjoyed it so much I always knew that the film would be something of a disappointment. The film follows the relationship between Henry (Eric Bana) and Clare (Rachel McAdams). This relationship is far from ordinary as Henry suffers from Chrono Impairment, a genetic disorder which causes him ...  Read the complete review

My husband bought himself Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveller's Wife as he is a sci-fi fan. He read the book and put it on the bookshelf. After a few weeks I read a few reviews on it and discovered that we have this book so I started reading it. It was a very engaging reading I could hardly put the book down. When we heard that ...  Read the complete review

After reading the book which was amazing I was unconvinced that this could be adpated to make a half decent film due to its complexity and was so not prepared to waste my time or money at the cinema. However, it happened to be the in-flight movie on my recent homeward bound trip, so I thought why not? Henry DeTamble(Eric Bana) suffers ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this film or not because firstly, I have read the book and it's one of the best novels I have ever read. Secondly I am more into action films than a romance/love story but the chance came a long so I thought why not? The film is based on the book 'The Time Travellers wife' which is written by Audrey ...  Read the complete review

Henry DeTamble has a rare genetic disorder which propels him backwards or forwards through time without a moment's notice. When he meets Clare she claims that she has known him since she was 6 years old, but Henry has never seen her in his life. The pair end up falling in love and Henry learns how, in the future, he will travel back in time to ...  Read the complete review

The Time Traveller's Wife is based on Audrey Niffenegger's 2003 novel of the same name. I'm not a fan of weepies in general, as I find them crassly manipulative, and the idea of injecting a science-fiction time-travel plot with this just seems utterly absurd. Despite this, the cast are quite alluring, but they can't really keep this dud afloat ...  Read the complete review

FILM REVIEW: NOT COMPARED TO THE BOOK I have not read the book so this review will only be reviewed on how I saw the film. The film is a story of a man who from a young age finds out that he can time travel. You see the film as an outsider who can pulled into some of the world that Henry (Eric Bana) is living. The story is ...  Read the complete review

At the end of watching this film in the cinema, the credits were rolling and the lights went up and a teenage girl sitting near to me said to her friend, " I liked that but I didn't understand it." I knew straight away that the girl had not read the book and had struggled with the narrative. This is a review of the ...  Read the complete review

This book is a legendary tale amongst my friends, after hearing everyone go on about it non stop I borrowed the book of my friend. Before I started it I heard that the film was coming out soon. As a rule I try always to never watch the film after reading the book as then it is never as good as I imagined it. As soon as I heard the film was coming ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that I was skeptical about this film. I have read the book, and place it as one of the top five works of fiction I have ever read; it really is phenomenal. A few years back I was excited to see Brad Pitt and Jeniffer Aniston had bought the film rights, but their subsequent split put the film on ice. Anyway, Brad ended up buying the ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago I read and loved the novel "The Time Traveller's Wife" and so when the film was in its early stages I started really look forward to it. As the film took ages to get to the cinema my excitement had time to wane. The early reports on the film were not good, but I was keen to see for myself. Despite it not even being a 2 ...  Read the complete review

I'd just finished the book of The Time Traveller's Wife and having enjoyed it way more than I expected I went to the cinema to see the film version. I was very sceptical about how well a film version of this book could be done, but must say i was pleasantly surpirised. The story of this film/novel is that of Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) ...  Read the complete review

I went to see The Time Traveler's Wife a couple of weeks ago at the cinema. I had actually wanted to read the book first as I'd heard so many good things about it, but watching the movie first was just the way that things worked out at the time. So as you have probably figured out, the movie is based on a novel which goes by the same ...  Read the complete review

Following the successful written publication of The Time Traveler's Wife comes the big screen production starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana as the main characters Clare and Henry. I am writing this review having not read the book and not knowing too much about the plot beforehand. You are thrown right into the thick of the story ...  Read the complete review

The Time Traveler's Wife is a 2009 romantic drama directed by Robert Schwentke, best known for his 2005 film Flightplan, and based on the 2003 novel of the same name by writer Audrey Niffenegger. The basic premise is the character of Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) has the (rather unexplained) ability to time travel. He is leading his life ...  Read the complete review

Having read the book of the same name I was really looking foward to seeing the film however also slightly cautious as so many book adaptions turn into disappointments however on the whole this film does a pretty good job or replicating the enjoyment I gained from the book however out of the two mediums the written word is still the best way to ...  Read the complete review

I recently went to see this film with some one who's a lot romantic than me but it was their turn to choose unfortunately so she chose the slushy film... It stars Rachel McAdams as Clare Abshire and Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble in a really over the top American love story of a man who struck down with a rare genetic illness called ...  Read the complete review

I was worried about seeing this as it is based upon one of my favourite books ever. There are scenes that I felt were important that have been left out and there are little bits here and there that have been changed. However, despite the changes and it all being very girly, I loved it. I don't think it deserved the trashing it got from some ...  Read the complete review

I've been going to the cinema a lot recently, since a relative joined the Orange network and offered me their 2 for 1 Orange Wednesday codes! The most recent film I have seen is The Time Traveller's Wife which is based on the popular novel and stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. It's still currently showing if you wish to go and see it, and I ...  Read the complete review

Reading some books, it's easy to imagine them making the transition to the big screen. The Da Vinci Code, for instance, reads so like a film script that it's hard not to imagine Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou running around inside Dan Brown's head as he put pen to paper. Others are more difficult to conceive - and Audrey Niffenegger's The Time ...  Read the complete review
