Not Well Grounded

Rating: 6/10 (13 April 2013)

Visually stimulating but hardly Spiritually uplifting this Film tries so hard to be Philosophically relevant that it drowns in its own excessive pretensions. Especially after the Revelation. What is meant to be an Epiphany is more like an Exorcism.
It pulls so hard at the Soul that it is a painful extraction of belief and Faith. A watering down of deep convictions and hopeful beliefs. The message here is not well grounded and is left floating about meandering every which way and is so heavy handed that it can be a detriment to its own determined thesis.
Undeniably stunning at times it is the disjointed editing and the completely cop out ending coupled with the thick Theology that keeps this from being completely successful in the way of The Way.
There is simply so much shallowness to the Script that it is barely saved by the expanse and the exciting vistas. Probably better enjoyed if you let go and take the voyage with as little intellect as possible and nary a search for Enlightenment.
