I know this is an old movie, well not that old it come out almost 2 years ago. I only recently bought it and watched it. Back when I first saw the ads for it on TV I wanted to watch it but I normally do not watch it in a theater as the nearest one is far a way, that and some times those places are noisy and some times you get some one in front of you that blocks the screen. This movie how ever I almost forgot about until a few weeks ago when I want looking for it. Could not remember exactly what it was called, however I did remember that it had button in the name so searched for button. I was able to find it pretty fast just searching movie sites for button. After finding it I bought it on ebay for around 10usd, which I think is a good price.
Before watching the movie I thought about how he ages back words and also trying to remember what was in the ads / trailers with out actually watching one or more of the trailers. I did remember that he had a romantic relationship that became a full relationship when they both became of the same age or close to the same age. I think the ad mentioned that as meeting in the middle. One of the thinks I was thinking is how does his life start if he starts out as an old man. I was thinking does he just pop into existence or is he actually born. If he is actually born is he full grown, which sounds very painful for the mother or is he born a baby that looks old. I did find the answer to that by watching the movie and they actually did a good job on making a baby look old. Oh and ya that is not a spoiler as it is in the trailer which I did watch after I watched the movie. A few other things I was thinking is how far does he age backwards, like does he go clear back to being a baby or does he get to the point where he can not longer age backwards and just dies. I was thinking that because order to become a baby he would have to start shrinking so the extra mass would have to go some where. I was also thinking of a Star Trek episode where some one had age backwards and he was not able to go younger then a teenager because of the body mass issue. This is not answered in the trailers that I saw so will let you watch it to find the answer but I do like the way they did it.
Over all I enjoyed the movie and thought it was done very well. It felt true to life. I mean it felt as if it was some thing that really happened even though it was fictional. The emotions felt reel. The actions of the actors felt real. The backwards aging process was done very well and I liked how it was a slow process with subtle changes that looked correct. I also like how the story was played out and how the romance was done. I loved the movie and would recommend seeing it if you have not seen it yet.
I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
