The Lovers Trailers

The Lovers is an epic romance time travel adventure film. Helmed by Roland Joffé from a story by Ajey Jhankar, the film is a sweeping tale of an impossible love set against the backdrop of the first Anglo-Maratha war across two time periods and continents and centred around four characters — a British officer in 18th century colonial India, the Indian woman he falls deeply in love with, an American present-day marine biologist and his wife.

This reminds me a lot of the movie "Timeline" with Gerard Butler. People have been saying there was no closure...well the story is that we have past lives. One wowan has to loose her love in order to save the man in the future life. I just wish John Harriet could have had one accent. Sometimeshe spoke like a scot and then he spoke too much like a modern American.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I've seen thousands of movies and some really, really bad ones. However, I really don't think I've seen one this bad on so many levels. Hell I like some bad movies if they provide some kind of entertainment along the way. This one just lacks any kind of entertainment in any kind of shape or form. I won't get into the acting or photography - that's apparent. Neve Campbell was originally cast to play Laura Fennel but dropped out due to pregnancy. I'll bet she is saying to herself now, "THANK GOD I got pregnant!" I mean I am a man and right now I'd rather be pregnant that watching this movie...

This is essentially an epic love story which was supposed to have transcended time and space. Josh Hartnett plays dual characters: one as a diver/archaeologist type in the 21st Century and the second being a Scotsman working under the British colonials in the Indian subcontinent in the 17th Century. Tamsin Egerton plays his wife in the 21st Century and Bipasha Basu plays his love interest in 17th Century India. Having read an interview by director Roland Joffé about the film, I was expecting much more involvement of quantum physics to be present in the film. Not necessarily the entire film to be explaining the theory but at least more play on parallel universe and different realities. I was expecting more sci-fi along the lines of the Source Code or Interstellar. Instead what we got was Titanic crossed with Bollywood. If you are a sci-fi fan then you may be disappointed but if you are a romance fan then you may enjoy the film. Think Time Traveller's Wife, The Age of Adaline and other paranormal romances.

I don't know how to describe it, how to put my finger on it, but it's pure and simply boring and it does not sink me into the story, it makes me want to fall asleep.The story could have been good, but it was poorly execute. It feels broken, tangled in a silly way and the actors play is anything but credible. I started watching it 3 times and only got to the middle of it as I find it has no substance and nothing interesting.Simply it is no "The mission" no "The fountain" no nothing I would want to watch to the end.I give it 3 stars for the settings, landscapes and for the idea, nothing else.
