I saw the trailer when I went to see Black Swan. Malick is one of my favorites and I'm pretty excited he's finally putting out something new. This has an excellent cast and the modern(?) portion of the movie seems to have some sci-fi elements. No one shoots movies like this guy... he's amazing.
Looks fantastic, can't wait.
Why am I interested when that trailer told me NOTHING about what the movie is about?
To be honest I wish all trailers were that vague.
a trailer should give you an idea of the movie while telling you jack shit. seeing an entire movie in the trailer is never good.
I just came back from seeing this movie. It totally floored me. It won't be for everyone, but if you don't mind a little art house in your films then you simply must see this. It's possibly the most beautiful film I've ever seen, simultaneously showing the grand miracle and the humble fragility of life. Movie of the year.
I trusted you on Enter the Void. Never again
I'll probably see it
lol, apples and oranges but yes, this is not for everyone.
Yeah, I really want to see this. I know it's been polarizing people a bit, but I end up liking a lot of those movies.
Dying to see this. The trailer alone had me hooked. I've watched it twenty times or so. lol
The first half hour of this movie is indefensibly overwrought and silly. CG dinosaurs, Malick? Really, dude?
The last half hour is almost as ridiculous. And the use of water in nearly every single shot, my God, WE GET IT.
If I really wanted to be a dick, I'd mention the dreadfully predictable "Terry'z Oscar Playlist [1]" classical music selections. If I wanted to.
I heard the review of it on NPR, and I don't think I've ever heard of a worse sounding movie. But the review could have been terrible.
The trailer reminded me of the short film the art teacher shows her students in Ghost World.Quote:

I'm sorry Compass, this movie doesn't have any little girls to ogle, though its got plenty of young boys.
I wasn't a fan of the stretched out ending, which i found far more ridiculous and heavy handed than the start, which i didn't think was any more ridiculous than the start of 2001. I guess its just a matter of how much of that kind of thing you can tolerate. I totally agree about the soundtrack though, the classical music choices were crass. Still, the good far outweighed the bad. The cinematography was absolutely outstanding, as was the acting. But if you'd rather be a douche and niggle at its downfalls then go ahead, this is TNL after all.
Heaven forbid someone tries to do something different or interesting. Don't worry, Transformers 3 is in 3D, so you will be able to see shit shake on a new axis!
It's fine that he tried something different and interesting. Traditional film language was, to Malick, inadequate to tell his story, so he invented his own way to speak. My problem isn't with his manner of speaking, but that he spoke too much. And I'm not talking about the overall length of the movie.
He also spoke too directly at times, as he did through Pitt's character who just as well should have worn a t-shirt that said "I'm with The Son and The Holy Ghost."
Me too, Sean. Me too.Quote:
