Die Zeitreisende - Für Immer Dein

Compelling performance by this young actress. I totally believed she was lost in this place of being treated like a kid by those who knew her before and not fitting in with the young people she was meeting now. So it made sense to me that she would want to connect with her former boyfriend even though he now "looks old".

Such an interesting concept and I liked how the filmmaker handled the ending. Very unique!!

The acting, the writing and the directing are very adequate; nothing more than that was necessary to set this film in a middle-of-the-road category. Acceptable, not outstanding.

I find the film slow: with the exception of the hostile TV interview, the scenes which constitute the plot were not intense enough to maintain my interest. (Can't totally blame the writers: the situation in itself is static: "she went away and she returned at the same age. This is all there is, what we do now?") There is too much Hallmark and not enough time travel.

Some viewers find repulsive (creepy) the idea of a couple with 20 years of age gap. Fine to them, but not for me. For the last 18 years I've been married to a woman 30 years my junior. We have two children and we are reasonably happy. Either way, the age factor should not weight on the consideration of the merits of the film, which does not take a position on age-different couples. It is just the situation as it is.

All in all, the movie is just OK, and very little is gained by watching it.

My first advice... Ignore the 1/10 & 10/10 ratings... See it for yourself.

To the story. I liked it. I do not understand the bad reviews. This never deserves a 1/10 and I agree, also not a 10/10, but my 6 ot 7/10 is real. At least for me. See the story of love is one thing. But another, the story of life, and decision making, choosing your personal path in life. This is a story everyone could tell. Most people make decisions, that in their minds, they have to rigidly cling to, and because of whatever fear, they close their hearts and make all wishes and dreams go away... Lifelong... Jack resembles this pattern behaviour in all of us... But the story is also the story of finding ones authentic self. Doesn't matter how long it takes, or how hard it is. It is worth finding ourselves... Finding out, what we realy want. Jack did it. And you?

Nothing sensational or oscar winning but interesting and will pass an hour or so comfortably. Give it a go. The negative reviews here need to relax a bit! The premise is a classic what if in science fiction but I cannot recall the diea of a person returning to Earth after years in space being unaged as a film plot. The idea poses many issues for the naturally aged family and others the space traveller comes back to see. Steadily paced, relying on the dialogue to create the issues and concerns and to show the testing of relationships. Perhaps, a bigger budget , star status actors and top director would have demanded more but the idea is there and they have put it up to be quietly enjoyed.

This reminds me very much of the The Lake House(2006) which is a wonderful romantic drama with lots of twists and turns. It left me in the same mood as that film so I'll certainly watch it again.

If you are on the fence about watching this then pay no attention to many of the reasonably sounding negative reviews as they don't reflect reality. Its hard to imagine those reviewers actually watched all the way through.

Firstly it has a wonderful script, with plenty of drama, and no plot holes for me. At times I wasn't sure who was in love with who as there are at least three possibles, perhaps more, but I'll not spoil things.

The cast are all new to me and everyone seemed so realistic in their roles. Its hard to pick anyone out as the casting worked so well. Again they all seemed real and everyone different.

For me its 9 out of 10, as for some reason it seemed a bit short although at 1h 45m it is longer than The Lake House. I'm so glad I ignored those early negative reviews.
