A truly dreadful, overrated piece of cinema

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2001)

Having eagerly anticipated this much-hyped film I would just like to say how disappointing the experience was. A pretentious, oftentimes unintelligible narrative, possibly (who knows?) reflecting on the meaning of life, far too long (around 3 hours) - really one of the worst films I have seen in a long while. For those interested in reflections on the meaning of life, I suggest you go and see "contact." Call me old fashioned I go to the cinema to be entertained and this came nowhere near. I would rather mud-wrestle my own mother than have to sit through this dull affair again.
