Only Love can save the day

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2015)

Boring unoriginal theme and I can't get the image of the monkey with his body encased in a box and only his head free to move around while the Monkey was NOT acting and looked terribly frightened.....with his arms, legs and body locked away from his head!! while in 2006 it was Darron Aronofsky's prerogative to use a sentient being against his will, fortunately, it's not anymore (2015)! I would like to use some expletives here to describe my feelings about D.Aronofsky for not caring in the least, but instead I will point out how many great SciFi films out there created by brilliant minds with love and science and future being the theme that never used ONE animal! Sure Jackman and Weisz are great actors, but it wasn't about having the cerebral capacity or not to "get it" or having patience, the movie was unnecessarily slow. For some reason the Love story seemed "old" to me, though love will never get old, maybe it was the way the story was told. Then again, this movie was made in 2005, released in 2006 and I just saw it in 2015, so maybe timing has a good deal to do with it. Though great stories always can pass the test of time.
