from New York, NY
If it werent for a few shots/scenes that I felt were a bit misplaced this would be a perfect movie and get the full five stars.
Terrence Malick's epic about life and our place in the universe is easily comparable to Kubrick's 2001 for its stunning visuals and sheer audacity.
This movie is by no means for everyone. Some people quite simply wont like it, even if they understand it. It can be rather slow at times and is not conventionally told. There are only a few scenes of dialogue and we learn about the characters and events primarily through visuals and use of voice over. But for the patient viewer, and perhaps those used to Malick's unique style, this movie is a visual and emotional treat. The cinematography is breathtaking. The directing is brilliant. It is finely acted and Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and the young, but impressive Hunter McCracken do great justice to their characters.
If you are one who loves a truly visual film, and has the attention span to sit through a movie without gun violence, fast cars or blue cat people, then all I can say is see this movie.
