The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky, 2006)

4/10
Just watched it earlier and uhhh I'm still trying to come to grips with this one too...not with what I saw, but with why I see people calling it a "classic". Give me a break. I like Darren Aronofsky and I really wanted to like this one but it was just a mess. I "got" the three storylines and the way they tied in to eachother but it wasn't particularly well done at all, it was garbled and uninteresting to watch. I would say that some of the effects were beautiful and Hugh Jackman gave a really good performance (if over the top a lot of the time) but that's about it. It was like a weird mix of Lord of the Rings, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Matrix: Revolutions. I hope The Wrestler is better...
