"It is true that The Fountain is mostly cinematography (a kind of 2001), but it is no "vacuous" film. For one, it is emotionally compelling not only owing to its visuals but also its cast. Tom/Tommy/Tomas is a demanding role for Hugh Jackman to inhibit, but he captures the struggle of his character aptly. Rachel Weisz, too, is appropriately emotive and likable in the story. Togethery they have bubbling chemistry that creates mesmerizing magic, although with splashes of melodrama. The latter can best be attributed to the faltering dialogue that sometimes contains more corn than Kellogg's. This shortcoming is however far from a fatal one (since the film is anything but dialogue-driven) and between the meaningful glances, the expert navigation of the parallel dreamworlds and the epic score, The Fountain stays afloat with assured direction.
