Starting in 2006, David (Matt Damon) is running for New York State senate. A series of events happen to make him cross paths with a woman, Elise (Emily Blunt). The sparks between the two are undeniable, and she inspires him to give an honest speech about being a politician. David looses the campaign, but the seeds of her allure are already planted.
He sees her sometime later on a bus. Their conversation only deepens his attraction to her. But this bus ride was never supposed to happen. According the plan set forth by The Adjustment Bureau. A group of fedora-wearing, Mad-Men-suit-wearing gentlemen, who carry around note books with their “case files”. These files are the portion of the plan that they are in charge to keeping on track. David’s “caseworker”, Harry (Anthony Mackie), fell asleep and missed his opportunity to keep David on his plan.
For reasons that are only known to the editor-in-chief of the plan, who is referred to as the Chairman, the Adjustment Bureau is sent in to change subtle things in David’s life to bring him back on track.
When David discovers the Bureau by chance, they are forced to tell him that he is to never see Elise again. Both of their lives will be better if the two never cross paths again.
Feeling in his gut that this is wrong, he reluctantly chooses to follow the Bureau’s plan for the sake of Elise. But chance had plans the Bureau and the Chairman can’t anticipate.
Sounds interesting right? What if you find out about this bureau and were able to see what’s behind the curtain just as Dorothy did? Would you run for the hills and force your own fate, or would you concede to the Bureau and hope they know what’s the best for you?
Heres what we thought about it...
Take a peek at the trailer and see for yourself...

Here's the set up:
A cluster of what is believed to be meteorites comes crashing to various locations around Earth. It becomes clear very quickly the scientists were wrong, they weren't meteorites. It turns out it is an alien race coming to colonize Earth.
We follow a U.S. Marine Platoon on a mission to evacuate an unknown number of civilians caught in the invasion at a police station in, you guessed it, Los Angeles. In this Platoon is U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who had planned on retiring after his last mission in Iraq went bad, but is forced back into duty and assigned to 2nd Lieutenant William Martinez (Ramón Rodríguez) the Platoon Commander.
Oh yeah, they only have 3 hours to complete the mission because after that the bombs are being dropped to wipe out anything left in the area. After a quick briefing they set off on their mission and find out that the aliens have superior weapons and tactics. The Platoon is quick to suffer casualties before meeting up with group of U.S. Army soldiers and an Air Force Technician Sergeant Elena Santos (Michelle Rodriguez). They now have to work together to get out of Los Angeles alive and save the civilians. Can they make it through the war going on around them and make it to safety? Who else will fall to save the "whole"?
JustRay went with a few buddies to see this flick. Here's what he thought...
But take a look at the trailer. What do you think?
