...What?

Rating: 3/10 (21 April 2011)

With the success of Black Swan, I took it upon myself to watch all of Darren Aranofsky's films. I thought The Wrestler was great, Requiem for a Dream was fantastic, and now The Fountain...
I really didn't like this movie. In most of my reviews I try to summarize the plot, but I had no idea what was going on during the whole thing. I mean I got that Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz were married, and that they transcended time between three different times. But beyond that I really do not know what was happening in this movie.
It's not like it was bad, I was really intrigued by the plot and I loved Aranfosky's previous work, Jackman and Weisz are really good, doesn't hurt to throw in Ellyn Burstyn, Mark Margolis, Cliff Curtis and Stephen McHattie, the score by Clint Mansell is as epic as he always makes it. But it just lacked.
The conclusion will probably be different for you, but I just didn't like the plot enough to stay interested. I ended up playing solitaire on my computer, and honestly had more fun doing that.
