Review of The Fountain (2006) by Johnb. — 17 May 2007
Movies this deep don't deserve to be seen by people who don't wish to better understand it and what it stands for. This movie is really something to wrap your head around and it even leaves enough room for imagination left for the viewer.
The visuals in the Fountain are an absolutely stunning work of art. Now I could easily call this movie pretentious yet at the same time without that pretense, there wouldn't be much to see here. My only complaints of the Fountain were the excessive amounts of scene changes which I felt were not properly executed, and the poor script that neither worked for the characters or for the audience.
Those mistakes alone take this down a notch from being truly exceptional but a movie of this magnitude deserves to be seen provided you are willing to go into it with an open mind.
