The Age of Adaline [DVD] [2015]

Excellent movie! Even wife watched it twice!! The acting was well done and the story was captivation.

While a DVD is a DVD, not manufactured by Best Buy but surely marketed by them, I appreciated being able to purchase a very, very good DVD movie from Best Buy at a pleasantly affordable price! "The Age of Adaline" is one of the best movies to come out in recent years, so good that, after renting it via Redbox, I went to Best Buy to buy and own it, hopefully at an affordable price--and Best Buy hit a homerun on it, offering it for a price I could afford! I am grateful that Best Buy still carries a broad line of DVD movies for us old dinosaurs, who still cling to the DVD format!

I purchased this movie and was so happy to get it home where I proceeded to carefully remove the cellophane wrapper. Once I removed the cellophane and open the xase, there it was! The shiny new DVD just waiting to be inserted into the DVD player. Once it was installed and came to the main menu I was promoted to hit play. Wow when I pushed that play button that was it there was just nonstop movie footage for about 2hours!!!

Love this story about a woman who just might have lived forever. A love story about a woman whose physical aging has stopped because of a freak accident. Well done & kept me interested throughout. Blake Lively is a fine actress & what a surprise to see an aging Harrison Ford as her boyfriend from decades previous to their meeting again in the present. Reminded me a little of "Forever Young" starring Mel Gibson. Recommended for all.

Blake Lively acts with a more classic film-noir style actress flair than her more recent (post-2015) "A SIMPLE FAVOR" or "THE SHALLOWS" or Director Oliver Stone's "SAVAGES." Hence, "The Age of Adaline" is much more slow-moving, laid-back than the usual Blake Lively movie character persona she is so well known for with her acting skills! Buy this only if you like Film-noir style films as both the plot and the styles of cinematography, scenes depicted to convey the subdued nature of lighting are done to have you, the viewer, focus on the plot and storyline! Everything else just support the subdued beauty of both actors and film! Blake Lively is beautiful here, too, with fine acting, but not up to the lofty levels of acting performance of Film-noir Greatest Classic films!

From previews I gathered that this was a movie about a woman who did not grow older as time passes. That's a great premise, but what do you do with it? You have to flesh it out with the details and that is a challenge the film handles brilliantly! You also have to bring the story to a satisfactory conclusion, and the film does that as well. Will you see it coming?

I had watched this move about 2yrs ago on Hulu and fell in love with it. Just had to buy it from Best Buy website. This movie is a must see. It's full of suspense and keeps you on your toes.

The Age of Adaline was one of those movies that came and went from the theaters. I remember seeing a trailer for it and saying to myself that I have to see this movie but was never able to. Then my wife and I rented it and were hooked on the story and the characters. It kept you engaged and wanting to know more about them and what was going to happen. After finishing it we both knew it had to become part of our movie collection.
