Broken Fountain

Rating: 3/10 (4 December 2006)

I was so surprised to sign on IMDb and see all of these rave reviews about this movie. This movie seemed like an overkill love story on acid. The thing that bothered me was the repetitiveness and the disjointed story. The acting is great and the visuals are spectacular but the story felt like the same thing over and over for an hour and a half. I'll give this a shot on DVD since so many seem to love it but in all honesty I have to say that this is one of the few movies that I came very close to walking out on and I've only done that about 3 times in my life. So, while I see the great things in this film such as the acting and visuals I just can't get past the horribly drawn out story that in the end left me unfulfilled and confused.
If you are looking for a deep and convoluted movie of romance with just a touch of action then you should check this out. If you saw the commercials and expect one part action, one part love and one part strange science fiction then you will be disappointed at the imbalance.
