Chicago – Robert Schwentke’s adaptation of the beloved novel “The Time Traveler’s Wife” was mostly critically ridiculed in theaters but should make for a satisfying rental this Valentine’s Day and deserves a second consideration from those that completely dismissed it at first. It looks beautiful in HD and the film’s flaws are easier to forgive at home without the expectation of this long-awaited project.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
Ultimately, I wish “The Time Traveler’s Wife” was weirder. A tale about a man who travels through time but stays betrothed to his one true love should be awash in romance, magic, and surrealism. It should be poetry, not prose. And when Schwentke, writer Bruce Joel Robin, and, notably, cinematographer Florian Ballhaus allow the film to focus on themes more than practicalities, it nearly works.
The Time Traveler’s Wife was released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 9th, 2010.
