Visually breathtaking

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2001)

If you are one of those people who needs to have everything in a story justified and explained, skip this movie. You won't like it. If you need it to be "realistic", watch Survivor, and not this movie. You won't like it. However, if you can suspend disbelief, and understand that this movie is a fairy tale, and like most traditional fairy tales asks you to simply "accept" certain things without judgement, then you will fully enjoy what it has to offer. And what is has to offer is stunning cinematography and a lyrical storyline. So no, it's not "realistic" to have people running down the sides of walls, flying through the air, and fighting each other from slowly swaying treetops, but it sure is breathtakingly beautiful.
