Why do you think The Fountain is good?

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2006)

When I saw the preview for The Fountain, I swore to myself I'd never watch it. Of course, it was then assigned for one of my classes and I had to go.
The preview was misleading and makes it look like the bastard child of the Highlander and Sweet November. The Fountain is still a lousy movie, but for different reasons.
Before everyone flames me and accuses me of being a troll or an orc or a level-nine hobbit-smashing ice mage, I will say the movie had a great score and was pretty to look at (the effects are even better when you learn the space scenes weren't done with CGI but instead was footage of highly magnified liquids in motion), and the acting was solid.
Now my problems (possible spoilers): It's only 90 minutes and it DRAGS. On and on and on...
I can't see Hugh Jackman in the lotus position without laughing.
The movie has a hairless bubble-astronaut doing Tai Chi in his pajamas as he drifts through space...and it wasn't billed as a comedy.
Aronofsky took 90 minutes to say 'death is OK' and 'don't ignore your loved ones when they're dying.' (There's some debate among the movie's fans where people are unsure if the space scenes really happened or if Tommy imagined them. I hope to God he imagined it all because if it really took him 600 years to learn crap we all knew before we entered the theater then there's no way in hell he's smart enough to stop aging and cure brain tumors.)
