A good movie

Since I heard from here and there that this flick was quite amazing , I was really eager to check it and I had some really high expectations towards the damned thing. Eventually, this was what I would call a very intriguing movie. Indeed, first of all, even though the whole thing didn't turn out to be as gorgeous as I expected it to be, there were still some very amazing shots. Then, the story was indeed quite intriguing but, to be honest, I actually had a hard time to really get into this tale. However, it all changed with the ending. Indeed, the end was 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. Eventually, I re-watched it again at some point and even though the ending was still really strong, I still didn’t care much with the rest of this story. I mean, 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. In my opinion, the main issue is that even though the conclusion is quite impressive, it takes just way too long to get there and the story didn’t have so much impact until that point, at least, as far as I was concerned. Anyway, to conclude, even though I don't think it is really a masterpiece, it remains a very unique picture and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tarsem Singh's work.
