This movie is the suck

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2008)

This movie was hyped to be one of the best of our time. But if this is the mark of one of the best movies of our time then our time is seriously lacking.
I can see what the director might have been trying to do but he spent so much time setting up the three stories that he had nothing left for the end. He built them up and built them up and then just dropped the ball. It is like he didn't know how to end the movie so he gave the script to a five year old and let him do it.
The movie starts out by having us accept the fact that there is this mystical tree of life. This tree according to the movie is tied to Christianity, the Mayan religion, and Buddhism. We are also supposed to accept that the main character found it and it magically cures this tumor in a monkey. There is more time spent developing the story around the disease of this monkey than of the main characters wife.
Also the story is supposed to be taking place in three different times. Yet the future there is no actual explanation of how it happened or why it happened. We are once again supposed to just accept it as the way it is.
This movie forces itself upon you does not make you think but tells you what to think and what is true.
