The time traveller's wife

I went to watch this movie just because i don't wanna stay at home sauna-ing. It had been dreadfully hot these few weeks, these summer sure gonna be dreadful in Melbourne cos for the past 2 years even if we do get 34-35 degree in Nov, they seldom last for whole week, this is insane~ (ps if the weather forecast said max temp is 35 then it probably 38/39 edi in reality)

Anyhow, these movie got quite unique plot. It is the love story about a man who have a genetic disorder that caused him to time travel unexpectedly. (i wonder which of his nenek moyang got this gene ah? and i would wanna see the the DNA for this gene, seriously time travel, even Doraemon need the drawer to do so) but anyway, it's kinda unique eh, to have this idea. Thanks to that time travel he's meet clare, who he married later, for few times when he time travel back to the past and they eventually fall in love. The whole story revolve around the relationship between him and Clare with Clare eventually saying "It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays."

Henry (the main character) somehow pass that gene to his baby causing Clare to have miscarriage but they eventually do have a baby girl. The story don't have an absolute happy ending lah but it's not bad.

The movie is a bit confusing at the start since you dunno what happen just yet, it's equally confusing for the main character as he also dunno what year and where have him time traveled to. The movie is not that excited to watch since it doesn't really have a climax, he whole story just revolve between the relationship of the couple, not really a movie for people who enjoy action/ adventure/ twisted unexpected plot kinda movie. It's just pure romance story which is very nice for me to kill my time in air-corn cinema, mah i jst want air corn from other place other than McD and library.
