Every Aspect Thought Of.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2009)

This is a true art film, not necessarily because of it's inaccessibility, but because every aspect and every detail has been thought of and planned. You watch it once and you're lifted out of the seat your sitting in and taken on an enchanting journey. You watch it twice and you begin tapping into this drug of a movie. You start seeing things you never saw before. The themes sink in further to your soul and you feel entirely enlightened...I've seen this film the good end of 10 times (would be more, but I really don't want to ruin it by over-watching it), and every time I found something new, be it the unified gold colour connecting all the stories, or the inherent shapes special to that story.
Flawlessly perfect in almost every respect. The music is original, haunting and inspiring, the visuals are a treat to the eyes, like a caramel fudge cake is to the tongue, the acting is moving and powerful, the directing is efficient and skilled.
Rachel Weisz's acting accurately portrays a wife just waiting for the end and Hugh Jackman couldn't be any better as a man on a mission to save his love, and lose it respectively.
Every scene is placed there for a reason, every prop and every footstep. This is a sci-fi epic that, although contains plenty of eye-boggling visuals effects, isn't reliant on them. This film reaches a plain of intelligent and philosophical resolve.
