I did really enjoy this movie however, I had read the book beforehand and couldn’t help but notice the massive differences that showed throughout the film. I think I would have enjoyed the movie much more if they didn’t switch up so many of the details, the whole time I was watching I couldn’t help but notice everything. For some things I found that if the movie followed more closely to the book, it would have been more entertaining and romantic. I also believe that the movie was too fast moving and could have gone with another ten minutes to just let the characters progress before the storyline goes to deep.

I saw the trailer for this movie and decided to watch the film even though the trailer itself had me doubting the movies potential. I am no Christian, but I assumed this movie would showcase a Christianity theme as it was described to do so, however the movie actually exhibited little to no viewpoints and dialogs on the topic. This film proved my thoughts on the trailer right, as the plot, acting, music and other film features made a unrealistic, treacherous and down right boring movie to view as an audience.

Chemical Hearts review: I read the book before I watched the movie and let’s just say the book was one of the best I’ve read in a long time. But this movie just ripped off the book in every which way. There is no character development and backstory for any characters. Both the main actors are very good in the other performances they starred in but this movie didn’t express their talent for acting enough. Although Lili Reinhart showcased grace town well and the emotions she feels, I felt that most of the movie showed no emotion especially in the Henry Page character which was portrayed by Austin Abrams. He was monotone in the whole movie, where as the book showed that he actually wasn’t a zombie and had emotions. The movies plot missed many details and main scenes that should have been shown, also a lot of the main characters in the book had little to no lines in this film. A good example of this is the what is meant to be an attractive Australian Male but is now a creepy Ed Sheeran that had no lines, which was very disappointing. Don’t waste your time on this movie. I know there are lots of good reviews but don’t believe them. I wouldn’t have understood the plot at all if I hadn’t read the book beforehand and yet I still got confused about at places throughout the film.
