The Adjustment Bureau

Hmmm. The romance parts with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt were good, but the pure sci-fi bits just seemed incredibly ham-fisted. I don’t really understand what they were going for with the costume design and the stiltedness of the bureau characters, and a lot of that part didn’t really seem internally consistent.

I think I would have enjoyed it much more if they stripped the sci-fi aspect back and just made that part straight up action.
