    Looking forward to my second viewing of this as my first one left me a bit empty with all the ambiguity. While I don't mind a film meandering through a story, Tree Of Life felt overbaked, despite it having alot to like. Maybe my second viewing will help me dig it more but fine review nonetheless!

    Malick's las film, "The New World,"left me cold the first time... I appreciated it more later. This one I connected to immediately and I too would like to see it again for the sheer enjoyment of the sound and images, much as one might view Koyaanisquatsi, or 2001 repeatedly. But I've encountered those who share your initial opinion. Always happy when you drop by.

    Well, Bram, you're going to have to see it for yourself. If you've enjoyed other Terence Malick films, say "Badlands" or "Days of Heaven," than I'm sure you'll like this. I warn you that the narrative structure is less than obvious at first, but immerse yourself in the sounds and images and clarity will come like a revelation. Enjoy.

    Lhakpa-Ri is 23,000 ft. (7000 meters) tall, and sits in the shadow of Everest. It was the peak to which Geo. Mallory climbed in his 1921 survey of Everest, before assailing the mountain itself.

    I guess you have to like the period feel of it to embrace it fully. Of course I like Thor and First Class also... all good films.

    Liked both of those but a character called 'Captain America' isn't really designed to appeal to an Englishman like myself is he... I have nothing against America, it's a very fine place but I don't feel this character would appeal to me...

    I think as you see him sitting in a bombed out building in London during the "blitz," St. Paul's in the background, you might change your mind. Besides the beautiful liason in the film, Peggy Carter, is British... there's something for everyone!

    I think it's a bit early to call John Carter a bomb. It opened in second place with $30 million plus domestically. These major studio epics tend to recover their costs through worldwide distribution anyway, especially when they're as good as this. I suspect word of mouth will give it some legs too. There's really nothing not to like. It's a quality film and ever so much fun to watch. Let me know if you're not delighted.

    wow, one rare defender of John Carter. I think we saw two different films^^. Taylor Kitsch was ok but most of the rest (except for the "dog") were badly acted and better stereotypes. The effects were decent but the plot dragged along and there wasn't really much going on. I have also a problem with a world scientifically so inaccurate... I tried to cut this out but it stayed in the back of my mind. You're right about the 3D though, you literally couldn't tell wouldn't you wear the glasses.
