There's an equal chance you'll come out disappointed and amazed

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2007)

First of all, all the praises to the standard, whatever the others are praising, the cinematography, effects, acting, lighting, I mean, beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed the entertaining part of the movie.
Now to the actual plot and message, or so to say the philosophy behind the fireworks of the audio/visual representation.:::
I couldn't give it more than 4 because I was personally expecting more concrete and philosophical movie, a movie that deals with some of the most important questions and fears of the human race; the fact that we desire eternity but experience only death was always an amazing paradox for all humans. Many movies have dealt with this topics in the past, and yet we see that the most popular ones are always somehow connected to the Judeo-Christian tradition and teachings. And what is wrong with that? There's nothing wrong if you're okay with vague messages and incomplete answers and tons of space for mental speculation and interpretation. Then everyone is happy because it is again!! left up to us to get our own answers. Like we have succeeded so far.(!) That's what happens when the message is relayed through the media of just one of the major teachings in the world. Now in this movie, there is a blend of different ideas from different traditions, but the main influence being Judeo-Christian, leaves this movie with quite a few important questions to answer. I tried hard, but still, none of my friends can figure out who, what, where and when...about this movie, and my question is why making movies that offer no answers or suggestions but confuse people more into delusion??? We can find that in both Testmants.
People need some solutions to our fears and questions, not some hodge-podge artistic expressions (good ones though) based on flawed philosophies that bear little or no respect among real modern thinkers of today.
Enjoy the entertaining part, tho. You paid for it ;-)
