Expectations were too high

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2015)

I feel that movies these days don't immerse you into the story and setting like the older movies. So when i heard the basic plot and high reviews of this film i thought this movie might just take me there. To start with the positive it had a very imaginative script/story and the scenes of Mcconaughey were very emotional and touching. The problem i have with this movie is that it repeatedly pushes reality more and more and more to the point where it's kind of hard to stay with whats happening. It ended well but it doesn't make any sense how you end up there. Also there is a mystery character 2/3 of the way through the movie that was completely pointless sub story that pushed drama for the sake of drama. I like the idea in which this character entered and the actor who played him but for what transpires he might as well have just stayed out of the movie. Still a solid movie but i wasn't left in shock by greatness like some viewers have reported.
