I already saw this movie but, since I have it on Blu-Ray, I thought I might as well check it out again. The issue with this movie is that, before I saw it the very first time, I kept hearing from here and there that it was amazing so I had some really high expectations towards the damned thing. Eventually, after watching it a couple of times by now, I think it is a very intriguing movie, but, to be honest, not really much more than that though. First of all, the whole thing didn't turn out to be as gorgeous as I expected it to be, even if there were still a few quite amazing shots. Then, the story was not bad but, to be honest, I actually had a hard time to really get into this tale. Apparently, for some reason I can't recall anymore, the first time around, the ending did blow me away. Back then, this ending felt so heartbreaking and so powerful that, suddenly, the whole thing finally made complete sense and I felt a deep connection with what was going on and I was finally touched by this story. Unfortunately, after each re-watch, I couldn't see anymore what was supposed to be so great about this ending after all. Sure, it was better, story wise, than 'The Cell', Tarsem Singh's previous directing effort, and there was definitely something striking about it but it was still missing something to become truly remarkable. Concerning Tarsem Singh, in spite of all the praises this movie has received, his career did turn out to be rather underwhelming after all. Anyway, to conclude, even though I don't think it is really a masterpiece, it is still a very unique picture and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tarsem Singh's work.
