The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) starring Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams, Ron Livingston. This is one of those infuriating DVDs that makes you sit through several previews of coming attractions before you can access the movie. I find this quite irritating, and I won't be swayed to see any of the films advertised just because I have been forced to sit through the preview.... But that doesn't necessarily have a bearing on "The Time Traveler's Wife." In the movie, Henry (Bana), due to a genetic defect, travels through time at random and unpredictable times and places. His soul mate is Clare (McAdams), whom he meets as a young girl when he's older, but doesn't remember when they meet as adults (it's complicated). The time travel has the odd effect of making their love inevitable from the start, so that the movie can't end with a happily ever after. Some will find the time travel aspect of the film to be too gimmicky, but I found it fascinating. The subtitles are very good. Grade: B+

I found the time travel fascinating too. Wish I had read the book, one of these days.
I agree with your fascination with the time travel as so was I.
