Review: For the solid fans of the book, the film is going to be disappointing for them. There are just so beautiful details in the book that did not make it to the film. Instead, the movie is a result of cramming up of gorgeously written chapters into about hour and half bitter-sweet love story. If done the other way around, the audience of the movie without the bias of the book’s details will find the story interesting and will even want to read the book.

Book content aside, the film is actually decently made. With excellent actors around, the movie is never such a waste of time. The scene and acting is believable which takes its viewers to a ride of grief, joy, and pain. It takes love story to another mystery which can’t be found in any similar genre. The audience will be force to ponder what if the story happens in real life, surely they can empathize with Henry and Claire.

Just like any other book-turn-into-movie, the film is not going to be what any purist wants. Nevertheless, the film stayed in the spirit of the books’ texts and provides the readers the visuals that they just need.  It’s a different media and it’s just practical to condense the chapters of a book if translated into a film. If one will give the movie a break from book details, surely they’ll enjoy it and will not bother to watch the film again.
