This was a movie that could have been implemented better. It was annoying to see the various scenes fade out only to fade into another scene. In many ways, this reminded me of that other crackpot movie that I now reget seeing called Silent Hill. The story and acting seemed repetitive. Im not asking for the director to spoon feed me as an audience, as the metaphors were easily recognizable, but at least we deserved a more put together movie.

A very smart, well done movie. Too much for stupid American, ergo, it won`t do very well at the box office.

A wonderful, thought-provoking movie. This is the kind of movie that you have to see over and over to pick up all the nuances.

I loved the biblical parallelism with the underlying theme of "death is the beginning of creation, of life." With the beginning from Genesis... And everything relates back to a tree in the movie. I see the parallel being: Jesus was life. And he had to die for us to live forever. And He died on a tree. hmmm, something to think about.

it is a completely different movie. it separates itself with everything else. in noway is this a "mainstream" movie. the majority of the public will not understand it. thoes who do, or have a general idea, will find it mesmerizing. well worth seeing.....

I thought that this movie was excellent!! The only thing is that the person who wrote the review must have been watching another movie. There was no time travel and space travel...the reviewer needs to look up the word "metaphor"!! That said, it WAS an excellent film and those who are open minded about things that rate on the odd side should give it a viewing!! :)

I thought I must have missed something walking in right after opening credits. I didn`t. This movie is odd. Tiring on the eyes, redundant throughout, tried too hard to be smart.

What a great movie! Of course you need to have basic knowledge of the metaphysical world, the worm hole and time theories and religion to grasp the director`s message. Clearly not the type of movie for an average audience but an incredible love story amidst all the scientific theories!

There are those people who like to be spoon feed the ending in movies to keep them satified. This typical of the North American audience. If this is you then don`t see this film you won`t like it. This is an artsy film and makes you figure the ending on your own and without the spoon. So for people who are into the art of film making and deep scientology/religion this a film that may interest you. The acting is very good, the music hipnotic and the cinemaphotography is outstanding.
