Glad to have had it explained

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2017)

Unprepared in every way for this movie, I hadn't the faintest idea what was going on for about the first four-fifths of it. Towards the very end it became a little clearer. Reading the other reviews has explained it, more or less. But even knowing what it was meant to be about, I don't think I'll be revisiting it again. Not in the foreseeable future anyway. Jackman and Weisz both seemed to be trying hard, as did the rest of the cast, so presumably the fault lies with the script and direction. Perhaps the basic idea had possible potential. It needed a considerable number of revisions, to make it user-friendly, and I gather it had already had a few, but more were needed.
It was evidently a film with a message, and the message was "Death Is the Road to Awe". Helpful for those worried about their way to death, and a message which has been used for millennia. Wordsworth put it differently: "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting". You could say the same about death. Death being another form of birth. A sleep and a forgetting. Open up them pearly gates.
