Extraordinary visual beauty and vision

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2016)

After poor reviews and short run time at the theater, one might not expect much (the best way to see a film of course). Having read something of the use of organic liquid processes (light, oil, water) instead of CGI for cosmic screen effects though, I was curious.
It turned out to be a film of such extraordinary visual beauty, power and vision, resonant of our deepest earthly yearnings - love, conquest, transcendence and immortality. The fact that it's beauty and vision is lost on so many reviewers is a reminder that when mainstreamed so much high budget, Hollywood formula film, we tend to become insensitive and impatient so as to completely miss the deep pleasure of a rare and lasting treat.
