Spectacular

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2009)

This film is not entertaining. And for some, maybe many, far from riveting. It is also far from useless.
This film is definitely art. It is oft accused of being too long and too slow; these accusations are true. The effects are impressive. I was very impressed by them, but overall this is not meant to entertain. Parts were undoubtedly designed to be boring, but artistically this film is unmatched.
Really, it would be best if this could be called a different medium than film, for it is something else entirely. It is unlike any other film.
If you are an art snob, this will be your favorite piece of art; if you want to be entertained, save this one for an artsy day.
