Like nothing you've ever seen before.

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2006)

What an original movie that was deep and imaginative. This is not your average brain-dead herd 'em in like cattle Hollywood movie that leaves you feeling empty and shortchanged. This movie is full of stunning visuals & mind-blowing sci-fi images, brilliant acting & music, and well, wow, it was a pretty wild ride. I don't know quite how to describe it because I have never seen a movie quite like this one. Hugh Jackman gave an Oscar winning performance. I mean, his acting was INCREDIBLE in this movie and he should win best actor in 2006, for sure. Rachel Weisz (I Love her) was also very good, but the movie focused more on Hugh Jackman's character. The movie, for me, was kind of like a timeless epic journey of a man and a woman and their sacred bond of true love and marriage, life and death, the past, the present, and the future, and the struggle not just to cope with death, but a race to overcome it through science and meditation. It's definitely not a kid flick - leave them at home - they might like the visuals but they won't understand the movie at all really. Heck, I'm not even sure I fully understand the movie. It's definitely a film for a more mature audience. If you like a good epic tragic love-story full of symbolism and sci-fi, then you'll love this film. If you're like me, you'll want to watch it a few times on DVD to really "get it" since it was so deep on many levels. This is truly a movie like nothing you've ever seen before.
