Vastly over rated tripe

Rating: 1/10 (9 August 2012)

Let me start by saying I adore films with obscure or unique plots that challenge the viewer, I hoped this would be one of them... it was not. It was the most over rated film I've ever watched off the back of a respectable IMDb rating.
Any person hoping this was going to be a voyage in to deeper spiritual ideas is going to be left confused because you'll spend the film looking for the deep ideas, only to discover that the deepest it gets is "we're all going to die", well excuse my French, but "No 'do-do' Sherlock".
Anyone wanting twists and turns and an unexpected conclusion is going to be disappointed too, as above, you spend the film hoping for a good twist or original idea, and don't get any.
Just because an awful lot of people are giving it 10/10 does not mean this is worth £6.99 of your money, all it means is they saw how pretty the visuals are and most likely didn't understand it (and how shallow and naive the plot was), ergo it must be amazing. Something along the lines of "It's art because someone arty says it is".
Ironically, the performance from Jackman and Weisz is very good, shame about everything else.
So in summary, if you think Hugh Jackman floating in space in the lotus position equates to deep and meaningful, go for it and the best of luck, if you have an IQ over 35 and aren't wowed by pretty images or you just want a story line that has some cohesion and substance then give this one a miss.
