I would rather spend three hours scratching a chalkboard than watch this movie again.

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 1999)

This was absolutely the most boring movie I have ever seen. I don't even consider this a movie since it was devoid of a plot. All it really was, was Mallick trying to fit as many metaphors into three hours as he could. His point was expressed by about five metaphors into the movie, but he chose to bang the viewer over the head with another 100 or so "nature is evil, man is evil, war is bad" metaphors. The only redeeming value this movie had were some of the actor's performances, especially Nick Nolte. Travolta and Clooney's performances were laughable, but Sean Penn did an adequate job. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. I WOULD RATHER SCRATCH A CHALKBOARD FOR THREE HOURS THAN WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN.
