The Adjustment Bureau

The adjustment bureau is an enjoyable little ditty about fate, providence what have you. I feared it would be a stress based, hopelessness inducing, paranoia gathering, movie like so many other cover up conspirators but was pleasantly surprised to a short while of blissfulness.

The plot isn't complicated nor taxing, and the depth barely traipses past shallow. Matt Daemons delivery did have the audience laughing out loud at a few instances. A few interesting jewels from the movie which most viewers would glaze over - the agents notebooks which had moving graphics foreshadow what computers will be like in the near future; the wisdom near the end about fighting for your future regardless of overwhelming deterrence [read governments] hit very close to home.

 Although the movie doesn't offer groundbreaking sci-fi or conceptualization that would leave the viewership awe and dumbstruck (funny how those two nearly mean the same thing), it is still a good movie to get out and watch.
