Well, it is certainly different!!!!!

Firstly, I am a huge sci-fi fan. Having read the early rave reviews of others posting here at IMDb before seeing "The Fountain" I was expecting something a little better. Granted to those previous reviewers who warned that there are definitely spatial displacements in the time line of this story, the film is substantially over before a viewer can understand the esoteric opening introductory clips which are united with the closure. Rather than concentrate on cosmic special effects, the filmmakers should have attempted to produce a film with better clarity to the story line. This is particularly true of the first half of the movie and references to specifics of the history of catholicism.
