Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Past, present, future. Through time and space, one man embarks on a bold 1000-year odyssey to defeat humankind's most indomitable foe: Death. Hugh Jackman plays that man, devoted to one woman (Rachel Weisz) and determined to protect her from forces that threaten her existence. His quest leads him to a Tree of Life...and to an adventure into eternity. Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) directs, continuing his string of imaginative, involving filmmaking with a tale alive with ideas and filled with astonishing vistas. "Not many films can blow your mind and break your heart at the same time, but this one will" (Drew McWeeny, Ain't It Cool News).

Summary: One of My Favorite Movies
Comment: This movie explores a complicated emotion in a very complicated way, and it pretty much hits the nail on the head, those who have experienced what this movie portrays in their personal lives will find this movie bringing that feeling back.
Though we don't want to feel it again, this movie will help you remember and may even help you understand these sorts of things even better.
Needless to say it is absolutely beautiful, perhaps mildly complicated, but the complex parts of the movie are required for the type of thing the movie is helping us experience, I can say that this movie brings to light Hugh Jackman's great skills as an actor also, he seems to understand this role better than any other role I've seen him play.
This movie is a must for anybody ready to understand something that is highly complex, and those of us that have an understanding of it may understand ourselves better with this movie also.
It's a beautiful movie, if you're wondering if you should buy this movie, buy it. Like most of Aronofsky's movies, there is no regret in purchasing this work of art.

Summary: The Fountain Doesn't Give Life, It Takes Away Time
Comment: In what many called an epic and visual spectacular, must have taken the same stuff as the overrated Aronofsky. First off, the visuals weren't that great. Sure, it's impressive he did it on a budget, but I'm not calling a room on HGTV a brilliant piece of art because it looks moderately livable, on a budget.
Secondly, the story literally put me to sleep. I never really got the whole 3 parallel storylines, and I never really got how he got to any of them. Are they different people, or one immortal Jackman? And in the name of art, Aronofsky makes it as complicated as possible, keeping things forever weird, never spelling anything out, and never giving me a reason to invest myself in the movie. Or maybe it's because I wasn't emotionally drawn to the out-there story, or the strange characters, and mediocre acting.
Any way you draw it, if you love weird movies about themes of life and death, then this movie is for you. If you're not one of these people however, then you just wasted some two hours you'll never get back.
