REVIEW
Little has to be said after seeing this movie. its beautiful, hypnotic, and memorizing. The fact that it doesn't follow a structured storyline is a big turn off for some people, and i respect that, but i completely embraced it. This movie gave me something more then just an experience. It was almost something outer worldly. The unstructured narrative WAS the journey for me.
Don't listen to the other reviews, or the 'booing' articles. Go see it for yourself. Submit for two complete hours, and just let malick enfold you in his wings. And I guarantee, that if you have a passion for life, and for art, then you will find yourself sitting in awe of this movie. Becayse when I came out of the cinema, i was sure i had just seen the greatest film within the last decade.
