The deservedly multi-award nominated The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button sees David Fincher team up with his Fight Club star Brad Pitt. Pitt plays Benjamin Button, a man born in an old peron's body who in turn ages backwards. While the premise may seem a little mind-boggling for some, Eric Roth (the writer behind Forrest Gump) and Robin Swicord's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story is poetic, epic and intimate all at once. Critics have moaned about its length, but for the story and the characters to become a part of you, this film could not have been any shorter. The Currious Case Of Benjamin Button is a magical tale about love, understanding and acceptance, all themes ridiculously relevant in our time. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's chemistry lights up the screen. Together with Fincher and the outstanding supporting cast (inlcuding Tilda Swinton, Oscar nominated Taraji P. Henson and Julia Ormond), the tale of little Benjamin Button is uplifting and original. Giving away any scenes or technical effects would be ruining the magic. --Jennifer Kilchenmann

Summary: Simply amazing.
Comment: This is one of my all time favorite movies.
I love the fact how his life first starts out, Where they think he is going to die and I loved following his life along the lines when he was getting younger, Finding new jobs and love.
It really made me smile and I could of stayed glued to my seat all day watching that film.
Throughout the whole storyline he gets younger and younger, While everyone he loves around him gets older. If is a very warm-hearted storyline I loved every single moment of it, And at the end It was a very very sad ending

Summary: Why is this only 3 and a half star??????!!!!!!
Comment: Brad Pitt is an actor who has mostly appeared in violent and non-indepth films like Se7en and Fight Club. But this is probably the most in-depth film ever made! Chronicling the life of the unusual Benjamin Button, it explores into the problems of today's society. The ending scene is a reminder of how many types of people there are in the world and that there is more good than bad and more law than crime. The ending scene is the also saddest because my mum cried like heck! The way that they have woven the story to give Button a very interesting life is also a one-off opportunity for viewers and the chronological and physical age timeline crossing is genius! Visual effects: 10/10. Story: 10/10. Acting: 10/10.
All in all, 10/10!

Summary: Some people dance.
Comment: This is not normally my type of movie. Moreover, Brad Pitt is not always my favorite actor. Yet he knows how to pick movies with a character that is made just for him. This movie definitely is.
The basic premise is simple. It is of a person, Benjamin button, whom was born old and becomes younger with time. We get to follow his life through a series of flashbacks in which the reader eventually realizes she is his daughter. The story line is simple but what makes the movie is the presentation from the color the sound to the great acting. This is one of those movies that doesn't take you very long to forget that you're watching a movie and it makes you feel like you're part.
Be sure to watch the movie again with the voiceover by David Fincher and you will see what he is trying to portray and how well he does it. The cinema presentation is loosely based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I have only seen the Blu-Ray Criterion version of this film so I cannot comment on the others.
