Outlander fans must watch this hearbreaking Netflix film with Game of Thrones star
Outlander fans are urged to watch the time travel romance film on Netflix.
With a long time to wait before Outlander season 8, many fans are desperate for something to fill the void. Luckily, Netflix is streaming a movie that's filled with plenty of romance and drama, as well as time travel.
The movie came out in 2009 and follows an epic love story to rival Outlander's central romance with Jamie and Claire Fraser.
One fan critiqued IMDb: "At the heart of this film is a love story and the complexities that people bring to their relationships.
'What I liked most was its metaphorical allusion to the distance in relationships and how the important people in our lives stay with us even after they are gone."
A second wrote: "I was a massive fan of the book and had been following the production of this movie for a long time anticipating the release date. I had set my expectations pretty low so as to not be disappointed and decided to just enjoy the film for what it was.
"I was overjoyed by how true to the book the film stayed, only varying in a few unimportant places, the film dared to be as heart breaking and sad as the book and did not feel the need to justify the logistics of the time travel instead choosing to summarise it in the first scene sic].'
A third penned: "I recommend anyone looking for a unique love story to see this film. Paying homage to memorable classic such as; "Somewhere in Time" and "It's a Wonderful Life,"it will easily be something that should find a home in your living room shelves.
"It emits a cinematic glow that hasn't been seen in years while cleverly conveying an educational message; 'Never let go of the one you love, and cherish him/her always'."
The Time Traveler's Wife follows Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana), who possessed the genetic ability allowing him to time travel.
However, he wasn't in control of his power, which proved a problem for his wife Clare Abshire (Rachel McAdams). Henry disappear and randomly appear at different points in Clare's life.
The movie took its cue from the beloved 2003 romantic novel of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger.
Band of Brothers and Sex And The City star Ron Livingston and Arliss Howard of Full Metal Jacket fame also featured in the film.
The Time Traveler's Wife went on to get the small screen treatment by HBO in 2022, penned by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat.
The TV series, starring The Gentlemen's Theo James and Game of Thrones and The Good Fight's Rose Leslie, was sadly cancelled after one season.
Despite a passionate campaign to save the show, The Time Traveler's Wife didn't get a renewal.
There's been a subsequent stage musical adapted from the book.

Based on Eiichiro Oda's manga series, the first season of One Piece sailed into Netflix's Global Top 10 Shows where it spent eight weeks. All sets will include one or more of eight collectable 'Wanted' posters featuring some of the series' most notorious pirates, with all sets available on August 1, 2025 and pre-orders starting now. The Straw Hat Pirates' ship is brought to life with the LEGO One Piece The Going Merry Pirate Ship set. The set features over 1,376 pieces, bringing the ship's detailed deck and interior to life, with a large, printed sail featuring the Jolly Roger skull. The LEGO One Piece Battle at Arlong Park set enables anime fans aged 9 and up to recreate the showdown between the Straw Hat Pirates and their rivals, with details such as a collapsing Arlong Park pagoda. The set comes with Minifigures of Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Arlong and Chu with features like the shooting gallery for target practice, three 'Wanted' posters and the forest, in which Usopp fights the villain, Chu. The LEGO One Piece Buggy the Clown's Circus Tent can be flipped around to create a larger play area. The LEGO One Piece Windmill Village Hut set lets fans re-enact the scene in which Monkey D.
