  Fantasic film. However, there is no narative, and this will be difficult for some to sit through.

  There is no story in this film...you've been warned. Transformers 3 is playing in the theatre to your right!

  The worst ever. I felt like a chump for sitting through the entire painful experience. At one point I woke up to see dinosaurs - no kidding! I thought I had slept through the whole thing (which would have been merciful) only to wake up in Jurassic Park. Makes Ed Wood look like a cinematic genius.

  The biggest waste of time. I should have donated the price of the ticket to charity.

  Do not see this movie at Cineplex Sheppard. The brightness of the projector bulb in theatre #3 is set very low (likely to save money). Every scene in the movie appeared dark and faded. It took the grandeur out of the movie.

  Like some of the negative reviewers, I was also tempted to walk out during the cosmos sequence. However, I'm glad I didn't because the second half of the movie perfectly complemented that sequence. The family scenes are engaging, symbolic and emotional without being over dramatic.

  This is not a typical movie, it does not flow nicely in story form. It took a while to release a "movie" expectation and just go with the imagery, which was stunning, the music was perfect, as was the "acting" by the whole cast! But more of a dream sequence than a "movie". The audience seemed uncomfortable, and any crinkling of candy wrappers or popcorn was annoying, as was the snickering. Felt like a co-ed health class at times- general discomfort and relief when it was over. Interesting experience overall, but go in aware that this is not the usual movie experience!

  This is a polarizing movie. Some call it a masterpiece and others say it's meaningless tripe. Unfortunately for both the answer's more complex. The cinematography is so gorgeous it would do Kubrick proud. I was literally breathless for some of the early scenes. Unfortunately for the people hailing "masterpiece," the movie suffers from a weakness in its message. The "nature vs. grace" motif doesn't ring true for a lot of people apparently. He's spot on for much of the details, which is why it's so unfortunate: there were glimmers of brilliance here and it MIGHT have been a masterpiece, if only he had something else to unify this movie. Or maybe nothing at all? Because that's the reas
