Stylish, Emotional and Unusual ...

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2008)

This movie was pretty different from most I've seen - but in a really good kind of way. It was emotional, visually impressive and presented in a very unique manner. It was kind of a work of art.
The story is about a medical doctor/researcher whose wife is dying of a tumor. He is desperately working on finding a cure, when something else is discovered ... and the story progresses from there.
Given the setup, the movie has an emotionally intense / serious tone. It is presented from three different vantage points: the core plot, a visualization of what's going on in the doctor's mind, and a visualization of a book the doctor's wife is writing.
The visualizations in this movie are pretty stunning. When combined with the classical-type music the combined effect is very poetic. I will probably remember some of the haunting visuals for a long time.
If you're looking for a good, serious and meditative fantasy/sci-fi movie - here it is. This is worth the time and will leave you with a lot to think about.
