   This movie was absolutely beautiful. I just loved it so much. There's something fantastic about it, but it seems everyone doesn't get it based on some reviews I've read. I found The Fountain to be intense, emotional, touching and extraordinary. Like nothing I've seen before.… Expand

   Jimmy stop giving 10's to movies just because they are original. If you really like a movie give it a 9, especially if you admit there is argument for flaws. It's people like you that rate movies 10's or 0's that give objective criticism a bad name. The movie is good and original. Not perfect. Check it out.… Expand

   Nice movie to have ... met. It is hard for me to understand some of the critics. Many say The Fountain is complicated, but I see no point in discussing any lack of understanding in terms of a movie review -> Concerning this movie, understanding means feeling. If someone doesn't get it, well, you are human, are you? Be it possible there are inhumane critics. Be it possible many like to pose simple questions in order to irritate people. Don't ban a movie for what it does with you because as long as it does affect you, it is useful. 3 levels of time - that a problem? I'd say: it's a must if you ever try to bring up a universal message - three at least. Good number. What else is remarkable: We surely don't need all the footage and top-secret background info, who cares? Art is which works! All you fans, be aware that strongly recommending to buy a ticket or dvd is the uttermost thing to do. Re-telling the whole happening looks like stuffing the internet. Back to the roots: I like the movie from a consumer's point-of-view for its deep passion. I appreciate it from a writer's point-of-view for a daring entreprise. I love it from a male romantic's point-of-view for its (somehow psychological) precision. I can easily recommend you to buy the thing, but I will add: Aside from other laudations spoken out over time, perhaps truly earned, I suggest you prepare for something different from what most people think how a movie should develop and towards something that allows you to let go and feel a specific meaning you always assumed to be ... out there. No, my name's not Darren. Keep whispering. *chuckle*… Expand

   Requiem was a classic, The Fountain is not. Bad story, script, sets, drama, music, camera work, even acting. Besides the cool galaxy/star images toward the end, the movie was an overall bore. Maybe Aranofsky took all the praise from Requiem to the head because he seemed to make this movie with no regard except for the fact that he thinks anything he does has to be good. Half the crew/and 1 actor were hold overs from Requiem...and Huge JACKman...I knew it was too good to be true when I saw the poster, but at least I gave it a shot.… Expand
