Sam AlMan "The adjustment team" is the title of a short story by the author Philip K. Dick.. science fiction story about a world where changes or adjustments in people's lives are made by a team called "the adjustment team".. There was an unfortunate one person who witnessed the change and promised to be kept unchanged only if he do not tell any one about what he saw.. so he tried to do so and "the adjustment team" helped him to keep him away from telling anybody about it.. the endNow for this movie... the main core idea is there but with extension to what our protagonist is about, where substantial time spent to showcase his career life and his love life.. it is basically a romantic movie with a slight portion of science fiction and some thrill included. The short story was good, straightforward, and into the point.. while this movie uses the main core idea from Philip K. Dick, it does not give the same satisfaction as the short story does.

omarkhmuhammad The whole idea of messing with fate is amusing, but the thing is here, the holders of fate are a little underpowered I mean people who control how the world works should be able to do their work even if they lost their hats, shouldn't they? I found it hard to see them as any serious power striving to execute the plan as it is, what they really were to me was a bunch of people running to stop someone from doing things that they do not approve of. And then comes Elisa talking about the senator of New York and how she left her ex for not wanting to settle for less because of him. I believe it's a little easier to reach someone running for the congress for two consecutive years than it is for him to find her. I mean she did want to right? But then again it is a Sci-Fi movie meant to be for the public audience and not for a high-maintenance movie junkie like me.

Michael Ledo The movie starts out great. I thought it was going to be Jason Bourne vs. The Matrix. As it turns out if was a bizarre love story involving fate. Matt Damon, due to an oversleeping "angel" or controller accidentally discovers that "God" aka "chairman" (apparently Frank Sinatra took over that spot) has a master plan for humans because we can't do anything right on our own. The chairman uses "angels" to control the outcome of major events in the world by tweaking people's thoughts and sometimes causing accidents and deaths.Matt meets a girl and they immediately hit it off, however they were never supposed to meet again as that would change the game plan. When they do, it sends ripples through that ultimate game plan, apparently flexibility is not one of the Chairman's virtues. The movie is about them trying to be together vs. fate keeping them apart. It is perhaps more of a love story than anything else. For people who believe in a higher power, it is as thought provoking as the book of Job.This movie has no great special effects as Matrix, no fast speed fighting, no great sound track, no nudity, no sex (just implied) and I don't recall any F-bombs.

vostf How telling! I picked up this movie on VOD yesterday, thinking I had skipped it when it was released and actually I had gone to watch it but had only the faintest recollection.Obviously the movie was not very good. Worse than that, there was absolutely nothing interesting and new in it. Granted the romance is okay, but it is only the starting point. The whole premise, that Adjustment Bureau is a failure. Basically it is about dead-serious Men in Black, so you've got a pompous metaphysical backdrop that bogs down the entire movie (obviously since it is the premise from Philip K. Dick's short story). This is a similar mistake as the one they made with Dark City: this is not sci-fi enough or fantasy enough.Seriously who thought there was room for a movie, let alone a good one, about a police force with absolute power on the course of our lives? The moment the hero is told about this the whole story falls flat because it is a goddamn gigantic hole that they would let him know without resetting him the minute after, and even if they thought he was worth the dare it would take sloppiness over sloppiness from the AAA+ uptight Adjustment crew to let a prominent profile slip through its claws. A hero chased by some obscure force, this could make a fine noir movie, but a clear 'Hats-n-Doors' overwhelming organisation??? There simply is no story.
