So, I took my girlfriend to see The Fountain yesterday, and I’ve got to say that it was one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen. About on par with The Butterfly Effect but much less depressing.
I won’t spoil the movie for you (although there’s not really much to spoil), but I thought it was all right. Weird, yes, and definitely not for the average moviegoer, but still all right. You really had to think to understand what the movie was getting at. If you’re planning on seeing it, here’s a hint: don’t take everything in the movie literally. That was my problem at first, but once I wrapped my brain around the fact that half of it isn’t really happening, it became a lot easier to understand. Anyways, if I was to rate the movie, I’d give it a 7 out of 10. Or 3.5 out of 5. Or 1.75 out of 2.5. Or…okay, you get the picture. Not horrible, but not amazing. I’d put it about on the same level as that movie Solaris that George Clooney was in a while back. Good story idea, but not the best way to go about doing it.
So now I’ve seen Casino Royale (seriously one of the best Bond movies, in my opinion), Happy Feet (meh, penguins are overrated), and The Fountain. All that’s left is Borat and I can consider myself movied out for the rest of the year. Maybe. There are a couple Christmas releases that look pretty interesting…
