Long and flat

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2002)

This film has been trumpeted as a masterpiece but it isn't.
Yes, it has dramatic effects but these just come across as someone showing how clever they can be with technology given an unlimited budget - the end result is soulless.
The film is incredibly long but no empathy develops for the characters.
To cap it all, the film doesn't even finish the story and the way it simply cuts off at the end leaves the feeling that the whole experience has been a waste of time.
I couldn't bear to sit through it again and I wonder how many people, with hand on heart, really intend to do so.
