this be much good than expect . the premise seem far fetch and to put it mildly . but the movie work on a number of different level base on the screenplay and directing and beautiful cinematography and and act and not just of the always captivate rachel mcadams and but also the much underrated eric bana a the co lead and and the rest of the support cast . the basic plot be eric bana ( henry ) be afflict with be involuntarily send through time . he have no control about the time or place where he be send . at some point and he meet with rachel mcadams ( clare ) and drop in and out of her life and they fall in love and marry . however and a one can easily imagine and the downside of involuntary time travel take it toll . the movie could have easily have spin out of control and end up a total mess and but the movie actually work quite nicely . the plot could be a collaborative effort of the late rod serling ( of twilight zone fame ) with bizarre and science fiction type plot and nicholas spark and the author of countless sticky sweet love story ( i. e. the notebook ) . i like this movie and but i realize this might not be everybody cup of tea . i would say stick with it and you will be glad you do not give up and go see halloween ii across the hall ( a i be tempt to do ) . i have see them both . believe me when i say time traveler be the good of the two .
