What a great film.

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2006)

The movie is a reflection of the cycles of life and the undying love of a man who is trying to save the woman he loves from a tragic fate several times though out the ages.The journey goes from the age of the conquistadors to the fall future. The lovers are played by Oscar winner Rachel Weisz and Xmen's Huge Jackman, who both give terrific performances and i think both will be nominated for Oscars for their amazing work here. This is not your average wide eye love story, its a raw look at human frailty and emotion that has not been on screen for quite a while in cinema. Rachel Weisz gives another superb performance here as a woman who has to accept her tragic fate while her lover can't let go and she plays her cards to the chest while trying to give her lover the strength to go on. Her raw and human performance is her best ever and it even out does her work on The Constant Gardener", that's how good she is here. Huge Jackman has never been as good anywhere else than this movie and it proves to his naysayers that he's more than just a matinée idol. His performances matches Rachel Weisz Mano to Mano and compliments her as well. he gives a touching performance that is laced with grief and hope while he has to watch his the love of his love slip away from his fingers. Both there performances are the heart and soul of this film.
