Just awful.....

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

I'm actually a fan of Aronofsky. I thought Pi was neat, Requiem For A Dream was brilliant, and loved both The Wrestler and Black Swan. But in my opinion this effort is just laughably dismal.
I'd read nothing about the film, which definitely made for a confusing WTF experience. I'm still not sure what the message is, but guess perhaps he was (1) going for some sort of retelling of the Bible, (2) the earth is our mother and we are badly behaving guests, or (3) some sort of acid trip combination of the two. Whatever he was going for it simply didn't register with me.
I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from spending a buck at the RedBox to check it out. When it comes to art everyone has their own opinion, and obviously since this is currently running at a 6.8 rating (which is quite surprising) many people dug it. Before clicking on the page, I'd have guessed the rating was a couple points lower, certainly no higher than a 5.0.
I appreciate art and different points of view, but felt this was just a TERRIBLE film. I've seen very few films (*VERY* few in many thousands) where my feeling can be summed up with the old cliche "those are 2 hours I'll never get back", but this is one of them. A cinematic experience I'd definitely not want to repeat again!
