An emotional journey.

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2008)

Aronofsky perfects his vision with this wondrous, emotionally draining experience. It transcends being a film and completely immerses the audience into it's world and story; drawing them further and further along until the explosive finale. I wasn't too crazy about some of the dialogue, and Cliff Curtis' horrific accent almost made me kill myself but aside from those two minor things, the entire film was mind-blowing. Hugh Jackman's intense, emotional performance was stunning and had me in tears. Rachel Weisz was also quite good, though she suffered from the majority of the dialogue that I didn't like. Aronofsky creates his vision by combining the sensational score and cinematography to drive the viewer along this incredible journey.
