god-awful

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2006)

If i wanted to look at "art" I'd go to a museum. This movie proves Aronofsky is a hack (Interesting that his upcoming film: flicker is about a hack film maker). Requiem was great because it was written by Hurbert Selby Jr. "The Fountain" however, was written by Aronofsky. Seems like he was trying to emulate David Lynch to me. This movie is filled with great special effects and stunning visuals, however, that is not enough to save this horrendous film. Where was the story? Did I miss it? For those people who claim this was a "love story," well it was a pretty crappy one at that. I have a feeling we wont be seeing too much more from Aronofsky after this flops. Bottom line: This movie was boring. Not worth the wait.
