I didn't get it

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2006)

I have started watching this movie a few times in years past, and finally took the weekend to slog through it. I just could never get past the unending bit with the fake-o monkeys before this. I think the movie might have been more meaningful and enjoyable if I had been stoned while watching it, but I don't do drugs. Truthfully, the story line (if there was one) lost me, and what did the monkeys have to do with "The Dawn of Man" anyway? The incredibly long sequences of overstimulating visuals backed by the mournful "voice symphony" almost had me pushing the "eject" button, but I was too bored to move. The only reason I give this movie even a "1" is because of the one masterful piece of original music at the beginning. The spaceships dancing to Strauss was simply inane.
