Pros: Breathtaking sets, emotionally penetrating style, fantastic acting from Hugh and Rachael, different, food for thought
Cons: Future plot least liked.
Summary: I was a bit disappointed in reading the critic reviews on this film. Ever since I saw the previews, which didn't really tell me much, I wanted to see this one. I love Rachael Wiesz and lately, I have been getting Hugh Jackman everywhere (Scoop, The ... read more

Pros: Invoking. Visually Stunning. Captivating.
Cons: A tad bit too short for such a story. Hoping for an extended DVD.
Summary: 98% of the population will not understand this movie in its entirety. I, however, was not apart of the norm. Just put it this way, you will either be like Hugh Jackman’s character or Rachel Weisz’s character, i.e. stuck in the here and now or a
