The Fountain is right up there with the worst movies I have ever seen. The description does not really match what the movie appeared to be, which makes me wonder if the movie was re-edited for some reason. The visuals are interesting, and the acting was certainly fine, but the story was not only boring and confusing, but depressing as well. I would highly recommend that nobody watches it if at all possible.
Since this was the second movie we saw today, we didn’t bother getting popcorn to go with it. I can’t decide if popcorn would have improved it or not. On the one hand popcorn is always good. On the other hand, its hard to eat popcorn to such a drab movie.
I would have to rate this movie 2 of 5 stars. It only moves up from 1 star because of the visuals. If they were in a movie that made any sense at all then they’d be good.
