    The Fountain

    Seriously, what the fuck was up with this movie.

    Did anyone see it and actually follow it?

    It had nice lighting... and that's about it. I've seen worse, though.

    Worst part was seeing the same scenes over and over about 5 times in different parts of the movie with no point for it really. There's some symbolism but it's not really worth spending the time thinking about or watching again...

    I dont want to watch that movie ever again. I'm all for symbolism, but you still need some story and decent character to keep everything interesting. Symbolism alone can't tell a good story, and this is the problem with the movie. Only good thing about the movie was the pretty color, but again, most special effect were kinda ugly,

    When I saw the trailer, I was so pumped. What a missed opportunity.

    And I thought the people from the three different times were supposed to be the same people. That was the impression I got from the film. Was disappointed when I finally figured out that they were unrelated (well, related cosmically, i guess.)

    We had a good thread about this movie back when it came out, search for it.
