Instant Classic

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2009)

I watched this movie just because I heard that the visual effects were stunning. I watched it on a tiny movie screen on my computer. I watched it in segments on different days. And you know what? I was still in tears at the end.
I completely forgot about the visual effects, forgot about how that it's THE Brad Pitt playing Benjamin. This movie had a multitude of messages that can be debated and discussed. It's heartfelt and at the end of a day, a very good movie.
However people praise it, it was not a flawless movie. Like a crippled old man, the beginning is slow and at times monotonous. The younger Benjamin was, the better the movie became. Placed alongside films like Forrest Gump, I would definitely recommend Forrest Gump.
Nonetheless, I really recommend this movie to people who like to be touched or moved by movies. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, if I enjoyed it even on a tiny computer screen.
