NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I remember when the trailer for The Fountain came out, I thought “I really should see that! It looks powerful and interesting!” and then I never got around to seeing it. This is a tough, abstract movie with a lot of slow silent parts and I’m not sure that the dénouement is worth sitting through all of the slow parts. I generally like slow, abstract movies and I’ll watch something just to watch the beautiful parts, but this movie is not Vertigo. The payoff is interesting but most of the movie is pretty obvious and straight forward.
