It's not often that a film with a larger than life sci-fi premise has relatable characters in it. A recent film that I could think of that fell flat for this reason is "I Am Number Four". I couldn't relate to a single character in that movie, and I didn't care about it. As for The Adjustment Bureau, I could relate to a guy who has to fight against all odds to hold onto the woman that he loves. At the core of the film are two people that fall in love after randomly meeting and decide to go with their gut and stay with eachother. This is unfortunately not in the "plan" for the way that their lives were supposed to go. I don't want to say any more, except that the film surprised me because I was able to emotionally care about a sci-fi film for the first time in a very long time. It is very inspiring.Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are outstanding. Justice is served. You should deviate from your plans and give this film a watch.
