The fountain is a nice try, but they need to go back to the drawing board

Rating: 4/10 (2 December 2006)

Tom is devoted to finding a cure / the tree for Izzie, but is that truly what he wants or what she wants for that mater? I don't really think so. In fact, I don't think either of them really cared all that much about each other at all.
They try to portray this movie as some kind of love story, but let's look at the facts. Tom spend all his time away from Izzie in the past and present, while in the future his "love" is nothing more then tree. A tree that is suppose to allow you to live forever and dies. Which leads me to believe that this whole story is actually about selfishness.
The plot may be complex for "The Fountain," but the story itself sucks. Explosion, martial arts, and gun fights may be the norm, but just because there in the movie doesn't mean there is no plot. I rather watch a film like "Crank" or "Lucky Number Slevin" verses this sad attempt at film production.
