New Review Up: The Fountain

[urbpan]

In this installment of Solylent Screen, I endured The Fountain, a piece of New Age claptrap about mortality and spirituality, starring Hugh Jackman as a successful conquistador, cancer researcher, and soap-bubble dwelling space Buddhist. If you liked and/or understood this attractive yet incomprehensible heiroglyph of a movie, please tell me wtf and/or why.

I didn't, but I wrote this on my netflix notes:

"Effective and intense, but with almost unwatchable brutality and violence. The viewer wishes to retreat into fantasy almost more than the main character does."
