I got to see this movie, because it was recommended to me when I put on the sciene fiction filter and it also had a good rating.
Oh boy, was I disappointed. This movie isn't science fiction at all. Fiction at best, maybe. It has absolutely nothing, and I repeat nothing, to do with SCIENCE fiction. It is a fiction movie, a romance and if there was a main category to put it in, that would be esoteric.

Half way through the movie I realized that this film wasn't what I thought it was and tried to enjoy it nonetheless. Unfortunately, even as a romance this film didn't deliver. It absolutely doesn't deserve its rating, neither as a romance nor as an esoteric thriller. If you compare it romance-whise to City of Angels, which has a relatively similar setting, you'd immediately see the shortcomings of this film and that it cannot compare. 7.0 is too much, I'd give it a close to 6 rating. In words: "Slightly above average", and that is only because of the acting.

Also I want to say that it's just sad to see a movie like Gattaca compared to this. Really, really sad. It almost makes me cry. ;(

Loooot a lot a contradictions within the script.
Why didn't Harry stop the bus using his powers instead of using them to spill David's coffee? Why do these angel guys keep running around helplessly like a bunch of losers? No flying, no teleporting, no angel motorbikes or something? They seem to have little to no abilities. Going through doors only thanks to their hats -which can and has been achieved by a human- looking exactly the same as a human, having human names etc...

One of the angels made it clear that he can read minds, ("pick a color, pick a number" scene) yet Harry says in another scene that they can't read people's minds, they can only see through their decisions and control them. They seem to have completely forgotten what they wrote on the script earlier.

In one scene where they're supposed to stop them from kissing, David's friend says his name just when he was about to kiss Elise, whereupon he kisses her only on the cheek and leaves. Why the fuck couldn't he kiss her on the lips before he left? Literally would have taken the same amount of time.

David's character has bugged me from the very beginning. He became a politician the way one becomes a footballer or something. People don't get into politics being inspired by their dad's faces when they take them to some place. That's just not how it works. He also keeps going after the woman who never attempts to reach out to him herself, which would have been easy for her since he's a public figure. Throughout the whole story it felt like it was just him who loved her and not vice versa, yet they presented it as "their incorrigible love".

Elise's character was also annoying and cliched. They made her that one girl who lights up your world with her funny wild spirit and always drunken-like attitude. David never knew her beyond that and they never seemed to form that strong of a bond worth fighting for, yet David is so convinced she's right for him even though ANGELS THEMSELVES tell him that she's not.

Why does destiny keep making them run into each other if the angels are the ones writing destinies? Why was he able to see her again on that one road and get out of the bus to go to her? It seems like it's in their destiny to meet, so what does that make of their actual destiny that was determined? What does that make of the movie's message, anyway? That you have to rebel against your destiny... so that you can reach your destiny? I don't know, the whole fiction felt deficient and poorly written.
