What'd you really think about this movie?

I think I could like this movie more than I did but I also think I could have hated it more than I did. And, of course, it was forgotten about 10 months ago...

terrible. i kept waiting for all three plotlines to be tied together in a way that made sense, but it never happened.

it did make sense... the scientist discovered immortality just as his wife died, remembered her story about a tree being a person, planted it on her grave, and then used his immortality to wait until there was technology that could take them to her heaven/star (altho by that time the tree was super old and dying). Interspersed was the story his wife wrote as a metaphor for their life, with the ending showing that he does find eternal life--because life is eternal. As her body became the tree, so the conquistador's became the grass.

I love this movie! I think it is very underrated as well!
It reminds me of how the Red Violin was very underrated!

Loved it. Has some of the most powerful scenes ever caught on film, IMHO.

I have the movie on DVD and haven't watched it yet. But I was thinking of buying it on Blu-ray because, from what I've read, it would be gorgeous in HD.

i own it on Blu-Ray, and it is quite gorgeous. It's not the best HD transfer I've ever seen or anything, but it definitely bumps the visuals up a notch.

this was honestly one of the worst films I have ever seen. And I say that knowing that I was looking forward to the film and thought it would be great.

But it just wasn't.

Every review I seem to hear of this movie is that people "really really love it" or "really really hate it" There doesn't seem to be many in the middle.

Was that movie??!? I watched it on my DVR yesterday and couldn't figure it out for shits. I mean I have an idea how it's all supposed to link together, but WTF. Somebody needs to beat that director senseless.
