An Epic that will stand the test of time

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2015)

The movie, at first glance, may seem overly monotonous and lengthy. I can see why one may think this. The first time I viewed the movie, I was certainly impressed with the visuals and message, but it all seemed a bit to dry and abstract for me.
Then, I viewed it a second and third time. Each time, I become more and more amazed by the simple cynical message the film tells us about the human race, and how we shoot so high, and fall so low. The message is subtle, and the meaning behind the film has been interpreted in hundreds of ways because of the genius behind the film. This is a film you must be attentive to, you can't just idly watch it while sending emails on your laptop.
Overall, the stunning non-CGI visuals, the complex message, the depth of the film, and the personal impact it has had on me is incredible. As such, this is the one film I will ever give a 10/10. I hate giving away 10 out of 10s, as it implies near absolute perfection, but this movie is deserving of such a rating.
