Boring like watching a 10000 wagon train pass

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2009)

I can't start to explain how terribly boring this movie was. It's easily the most boring movie I watched in years, probably because it's the most boring movie that spent so much in marketing to get you to watch it.
The whole movie is a depressingly slow series of events about the life of a guy that starts looking ancient and dies looking like a kid, as biologically impossible as it is. Unfortunately, this is the only fictional element of this movie: not enough for a decent fiction movie, and not enough for a decent real life movie.
Everything in this movie has to be so terribly slow it'll make counting sheep a thrilling experience in comparison. The movie could be compressed into a 15 minutes short film and it'd still be depressing because save for a couple of moments, the overall situation only goes from bad to worse. There's nothing special in the end; no surprises, no plot twists, nothing that will make the hours you've spent watching this worth in the least bit.
The leading cast's performance was alright, though nothing spectacular except perhaps by the old lady telling the story. I suppose it's quite an achievement though; if I had a role in such a movie I'd fall asleep in the middle of my performance.
