The next generation in film-making

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2007)

The epic is back. The use of symbolism reminds me of some attempts to revitalize the epic in constructivist art in the mid 20th century. The story is wonderfully told and romanticized (and this is done amazingly well). I would give this film a 10, but the storyline is only deserving of maybe a 6 if I'm being generous...but a 9 because of what this film could have catalyzed...And for your visual pleasure, the effects are magnificent...definitely a good film to see in theaters (yet another reason that this film will likely catalyze more of its nature). I don't really have much more to say...now I'm just filling up my ten line minimum requirement for this review. It's a completely different theater experience...even in comparison to Sin City and I'd just recommend for you to go see it to understand what I mean.
