Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2006)

this movie was beautiful...so glad Cate blanchett and brad Pitt opted out, it wouldn't have been as subtly gorgeous with those two garish actors stealing the screen. Hugh Jackman was amazing and Rachel weisz is a star...another masterpiece from the makers of pi and requiem.
i love that this story used fantasy--both past and future flashes--to tell this story. The result was like a triptych, whereby the fiction narrative of the past and the future served to express the feelings of despair, love, longing, death and acceptance that both characters felt in the present.
I also appreciated the special effects and all the beautiful symbolism of nebula, trees, flowers and rings...it was nothing short of amazing. This movie has something for everyone, as long as you open your mind to it.
