Visually Stunning!!

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2007)

I didn't go see this in the theater, but now I wish I did. Its visually stunning! So many of the scenes look like paintings that you would see at an art exhibit. Sometimes I almost lost track of the story because I was just looking at the visuals and listening to the wonderful score. It also has great acting, Jackman and Weisz both give great performances as they portray their different characters throughout the film. Another thing that helped me enjoy the film was its direction and pacing. Some directors might have stretched the runtime out longer to make it seem more "epic", but I think the shorter length actually helps this movie out a lot. He focuses more on the main characters instead of chasing pointless subplots that just add length. This is an amazing film that hasn't got the credit and attention that it deserves! Aronofsky is setting himself up to be one of the great filmmakers of his generation.
