Mystifyingly puzzling-to-boring

Rating: 2/10 (22 April 2007)

OK to be honest I really don't like the film, being a Hugh Jackman fan, I been eager to watch every movie of him that comes out the film industry. Having my past encounter with the flowery reviews of Fountain here in IMDb.com my world in viewing this film turned incontestably up side down. No wonder I tried patiently to understand what the film is trying to convey to its viewers, but I got a hard time to discover its bewildering plotÂ—that eventually stayed to be a puzzle till the end, a complete mystery! Yeah it talks about the expression through artistic presentation the means here in the actual life, however I hate abstract presentation that would totally twist my brain nerves and finally would give me an intense headache. I would not want to be presumptuous to like the movie at all, I love Hugh Jackman all the time, he is a good pair for Rachel Weisz as well, I guess so the nature of the movie have inverted my taste in giving extravagant criticism. I like the simplicity of every character's gear and the setting seems to apply as well of its aesthetic moods. However the shift of the story continue to bother me and baffled my mind eternallyÂ—there was one moment were I thought the movie already ended but I didn't left my seat earlier because my attention was caught by the upcoming movie trailers, and after watching the movie trailers a part of the movie suddenly appears and started whole over again with another perplexing plotÂ…phew! Even this moment writing my commentary bores me as wellÂ…how tedious.
I could get a better understanding of the movie if I could seize an original copy in a right cheaper price, hoping I could entrust myself to what the film is really trying to expressÂ—or maybe forget it anyway.
