Review of The Fountain (2006) by Ericc. — 15 May 2007
The bad reviews are suprising, since critics were suckers for Aranofsky's first two films, also complex and surreal. Shockingly beautiful, and yeah, occasionally confusing as all hell, but doesn't deserve the brutal reviews.
How can you praise someone for doing something twice before, and then try to punish him when he does it again with even more grace and skill? Mark F is right. It doesn't topple 2001 as the deffinitive mind-bending sci-fi epic.
But if you give it a chance, it'll come pretty close. Just don't overthink it.
