Eric Bana is a time traveler and he has this weird genetic abnormality that the author called chrono-imperament, Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) time travels unwillingly that most of the time he is naked while stealing some clothes or running for his life or going back to the meadow where he first met Clare Abshire. We know that he is sexy, no – both of them are, but showing a lot of their skin is unnecessary. He married Clare (Rachel Mcadams) who plays a very credulous character in the film. When she was a kid Henry showed up and explained that he is a time traveler, she even witnessed him disappearing right in front of her and then, she just smiled! Which is really far from the reality. The kid who played as little Claire is so cute that I just told myself, you have to let it pass, this isn’t her fault!

The first part had been dedicated in explaining things: the denoument comes before the climax, and the film lets you know upfront that Henry has a weird condition and that his wife is a martyr. You will see Henry in most of the frames but you would also realize that its trying to show us the hardships of the time travelers wife. He would always be gone without notice leaving not just his clothes but as well as his suffering wife behind. Rachel Mcadams, superbly played a devoted and longing wife of the time traveler though she looks a bit younger for Eric Bana.

The good thing about this film is that it didn’t give much focus on special effects, instead much emphasis was given to the emotion of a longing wife, a bothered husband and their hopes of getting a child. You may say that this is just another film that you will not remember in the future, though I hope that you noticed the filmmaker’s attempt to leave a an emotional impression.

Again, this motion picture is based on a bestseller novel and thanks to Audrey Niffenegger who created the novel and to Robert Schwentke who directed the motion picture. I read the eBook before but didn’t finish it. For me, it is confusing to read the first few pages and I told myself that I will just wait for the film and after seeing it, It made me want to go back to that eBook that I had before and read it again. I’d give it another shot an I hope it is better than the film.
