Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2007)

Having watched the prestige recently (for the 5th time, one my favorites) I was up for another Hugh Jackman movie. Expecting a deep immersing plot i watched this movie only to be depressed like Jackman;s character in the movie. This movie was a brilliantly conceived and you need to be of proper mind for this which I was not in. There is not really a plot save a man has been struggling to find a cure for his dying lover/wife over a span of 3 different lives of which the third life is very bizarre. Beautiful acting by both stars (Jackman, Weiz), haunting music and depressing mood tells you a tale with a moral: You have to let the dying die so they can live, and beautiful special effects keeps this movie aloft the mediocre line to amazing. Its a movie about musing and so confusion is common. Pick a good time to watch this movie and let your mind think beyond the materialistic threshold.
