Spoilers, minor - not a waste but my expectations were higher

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2007)

I tend to love movies of this nature. Whats not to like? Time travel, Genesis, Mayan mythology, Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky. Its a recipe guaranteed to succeed in my book. It just doesn't do it for me.
I never felt "lost" but I did feel there was a little too much disjointedness from the beginning. If I followed it right we got to see the book she is writing before he does and that doesn't seem to go together well once he receives it. I don't know, I just felt cheated, or that Aronofsky had cheated the character intentionally as if for fun. It just broke continuity to me. If I am off base... well that means the movie did an even worse job of conveying its meaning. Either way its a negative aspect of the movie.
Its short, it was worth the watch if not only to see some beautiful imagery and great casting plus the you can join the rest of us in the WTF club!
