Great mood depiction and consistency

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2015)

Darren Aronofsky's movies are surely great in doing mood depictions and keeping the consistency on it. We see constant rebellion and self indulgence in Requiem for a Dream, constant reluctance within obedience in Noah, and here we see fervent strife even though there's no hope. As an atheist Aronofsky nicely developed his ideas and presented them to the screen and still keeping his sense of atheism. Yet this movie toyed with the sense of hope as the final conflict draws near. It presents the audience with disappointments at all levels of the story. Also I really like how the movie weaves the three sub stories together by using the back and forth story flow. The acting overall is a very nice job. Hugh Jackman proved here that he's not only great at action and superhero movies but also for emotional drama movies. Rachel Weisz did also great, especially in keeping the emotions at all those extra close zoom takes.
