I was browsing through the movie listings @ amctheatres.com to see what new movies coming out this week, and saw The Fountain - I thought I'd give a brief review since I watched it on the day it came out with Carol. Well, the story sees interesting - at least on the paper... I was thinking of a timeless romantic love story... well, it's not quite what I thought it was... It has some romantic scenes, and is a love story - of some kind... But, not a very good one. The review gave it a 2.5 out of 4, so, I guess it's not too bad a rating. But, personally, I'd give it a 1 out of 4 - quite generous already... It's one of the worst movies I've seen the whole year! "The Hill Have Eyes", "Silent Hills " etc. are more entertaining than this! The story line is a chaotic mess, some scenes are repeated over and over, make you wonder if the main character is hallucinate. Through out the movie, I rarely had a clear idea what's going on in the story, it's like a bad dream watching the movie... Some of the review says it's remarkable like 2001 or Blade Runner, I say NOT! Carol says the movie bears the closest resemblance of "The Fountain" is "Solaris", which she isn't very fond of either. The whole experience was just WEIRD.
Carol was telling me that the guy next to her was groaning and moaning in his seat the whole movie - I guess he didn't enjoy it very much either. Carol also said I'd give her a hard time for picking this stupid movie ... you betcha I will... for a long time to come.
