The Time Traveler's Wife



WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Don't ask me how I ended up watching this, but I did. Paid a good 14.50 AUD to boot. But still, it was a decent movie. Won't exactly download it again in the near future, maybe when I'm bored and out of shit to watch.

The idea of the story is just amazing, where Henry randomly time travels and during his travels he has seen his dead mother over and over again, dying in a car accident and his love, Clare in different stages of her life.

The whole movie kicks off with young Henry meeting Clare for the first time in his life but she has known him all her life. They fall in love, get married, go through some problems since he randomly travels through time at the most inopportune times and such.

The climax of the story is when an older Henry time travels and appears in front of Clare, Henry and their two friends, wounded from a gunshot to the stomach, therefore showing them how Henry will die in the future. As such morbid thoughts are cast away, Henry and Clare decide to have a baby but due to Henry's time traveling abilities being a genetic anomaly, the baby time travels out of the womb as well and causes Clare to have multiple miscarriages.

Eventually, Henry time travels into the future to meet his future daughter, who is 10 years old, Alba, which is proof that Clare's latest pregnancy will not end in miscarrige like all the others in the past.

There's a bit more that I don't think I want to reveal as I've already spoiled it enough at this point.

Ol' Spiky's Rating: 3.5/5 Amazing story but not mindblowing. Watch if you've got the time and money.

Aw crap, I feel sick. Got a sore throat and my head feels a tad light. Kicker is that tonight I'm supposed to attend a Penthouse Magazine event at Men's Gallery. Yeah, it's a strip club. Yes, I have free tickets. Yes, I am thinking of NOT going.

We'll see what happens, yeah?

Peace.
