Matt Damon is a good actor, and has acted in great movies which is why we wanted to watch this. While the acting was good the story line with all the sci fi was too off and I gave up watching it halfway through. diasappointing really.

I had just watched Limitless before this which was AWESOME, so maybe that's why this movie left me a bit flat?
Good movie, worth watching, interesting concept, great acting. But I suppose after the Matrix etc this movies' storyline isn't amazing.

I really enjoyed this movie. Realised at the end that it was a big release film that WASN'T full of swearing and guns, knives, murder and violence. What a change!!

Didn't deliver. I watched it thinking it was going to get better, but it just kept disappointing. Waste of time.

bit strange but held my interest.

Any movie with Matt Damon is usually good and this was no exception. Not keen on the sci-fi part of the movie. 7/10

Above average and quite entertaining.

The acting was good and although with fantasy sc-fi you have to make a leap with imagination, the script in this instance was too porous- lacked some internal consistency- but a good attempy

very good on all levels, not too much CGI.

The story was - well weird, but likeable, even if a bit psuedo religious as someone else commented on here. I guess treat it as fantasy/sci-fi and you won't be disappointed. My wife said: Very good!

Mumbo-jumbo sci-fi thrille, romance combined that is watchable but forgettable. The extra about Emily Blunt learning to dance is startling though too short.
Shame that she trained and strained to ,successfully, act the part of a seasoned contemporary dancer in a minor movie like The Adjustment Bureau. That said, the NY locations are stunning and Damon and Emily convince as a couple.

Starts well, with lots of impressive graphics and special effects but ends with a bunch of pseudo-religious hokum that ruins the film as only Americans know how.

A really good drama/thriller that keeps you wanting to watch. I guess it was somewhat predictable but definately worth a watch.

NO, this one is a bit weak. The storyline does not have enough in it to make it enteraining.

Good. In terms of Philip K Dick movies, not half as good as Minority Report. About 100 times better than Paycheck. Nicely filmed in NYC.
Michael Y
says
Excellent movie , really good approach to what could have been very confusing but wasn't, enjoyed by the whole family,

Brilliant. This will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing all the way - great performances from all the cast. A must see.

This is one movie to see if you want a sure fire winner. The concept is amazing and it leaves you on the edge of your seat. Any anti sci fi watchers need not worry as there are plenty of other elements in the movie, I rate it as one of the top 50 movies I've seen!
