Here is the plot description for “The Adjustment Bureau”:
Do we control our destiny or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller “The Adjustment Bureau” as a man who glimpses the future fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York.
On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt). She’s a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.
David learns he is up against the agents of fate itself – the men of The Adjustment Bureau – who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path or risk everything to defy fate and be with her.
“The Adjustment Bureau” is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of “Ocean’s Twelve” and co-writer of “The Bourne Ultimatum”). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (“Total Recall,” “Minority Report” and “Blade Runner”).

The Adjustment Bureau
Fate may put us in certain situations, but it is up to us to take the actions that will result in our ultimate destiny.
FATE
We do control our own fate and we make decisions that influence the things we do everyday. But, our fate can be influenced by the people around you. For example someone could say hello to you you could say hi back and before you know you guys have a date. See that person influenced your fate.
Control Our Own Fate
Most of the time we can control our own fate, but sometimes fate just intervens.
Fate
Yes, based on the decisions we make & the situations that we put ourselves in.
I think we play a vital role
I think we play a vital role in our fate by the choices we make everyone always says we have free choice but rather we need to engage in choices that bring freedom.
Cause & Effect
Every cause has its effect and that leads infinitely backwards and forwards. We are the product of all of our experiences, but we also shape those experiences going forward.
Yes, we control our fate.
Yes, we control our fate.

Do we control our own fate? I believe we contribute greatly to our own situations in life. There is fate and there is opportunity to effect our own destiny.

“The future’s not set. There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves”
- John Connor
But then again, the following two Terminator sequels kind of disproved that theory. And all of my opinions are derived from movies so i just don’t know what to think anymore. I guess the only thing we can really be certain of is the imminent robopocalypse.
Do we control our own fate
We control the decisions in our lives which guide our fate
