Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is i believe one of the first films that started this whole de-aging thing with actors since we see a baby Brad Pitt old, then somewhere around his 50s and then he is like 20 something years old and the technology that was used in the film was quite marvelous to say the least since it really worked quite well. The story is also very interesting and despite the almost 3 hour mark you never really get bored, the perfomances from both Pitt and Blanchett were very good and powerful and as for Fincher's direction? It was really good, definitely see it. (A+)

Excellent one. Everything is well packed, from plots to characters, from backgrounds to music, everything is terrific! No wonder this movie won so many awards over countries.I found a spoiler summarized video on Facebook earlier, although the video had told the story in general, but the movie still caught my attention and attracted me to watch. I was so glad that I watched this piece, its script is just wonderful, there are many thoughtful quotes from the screen, so many messages can be interpreted.This film is highly recommended.Also, after I finished this movie, personally that was interesting to know Brad Pitt once interpreted to these many quality script movies in the past. He was not a person in my generation, what I knew about him earlier were all about his affair, and the story with Angelina Jolie, and their movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This movie really changed my impression of Brad Pitt.

Best documentary I have ever watched. It was incredibly informative. It was very intriguing and I'm amazed how far science has come. I cannot express how fascinating this film is. Mr. Button's case is inspiring, telling, and an excellent learning experience. It can be hard what others undergo for the sake of science. Very intriguing. 10/10

A newborn child who looked like an old man and had the body him was abandoned on the stairs of an asylum. There, he gets adopted and starts living the rest of his life which will prove to be very different when compared to one of an ordinary man's. We follow his life throughout the entire movie as written in the journal of his childhood love, with all its difficulties and pleasures until his final breath.To be honest, although it had an excellent idea in what the main character is concerned, it proved to be what seems mostly like a biography. We are presented simple events which the unusual man experiences, in chronological order, without something that will amaze you or even wake you up from the state of boredom this movie puts you in. Just ordinary stuff which could have happened to any ordinary man. Its biggest fault by far though remains its inexplicable length which prolongs the boredom more than ever desired. Don't get me wrong, it is unique and interesting in some aspects, but it is quite predictable, linear and even boring. Its characters play their role well but don't actually shine, their characters being simplistic and even dull at times. It's a movie from which I had high expectations but I ended up pretty disappointed.
