Title: Worst Waste of Money Ever!
Product review: I highly anticipated the release of this movie. I went expecting a different approach from Saving Private Ryan. I should preface this with a reader's knowledge that I love independent films, art films, and film noir. I feel that the movie overindulges in voiceovers and insults the viewer's intelligence by not allowing us to draw our own conclusions. The cinematography is excellent but wasted by the constant drone of narration. I understand the multiple images of man's invasion not only of a Japanese island, but also of nature itself - I did not need it rammed down my throat. I, and many audience members, applauded when the guy's wife left him. It is incomplete, and probably intentional. I understand that the movie is supposed to be loose, and stream of conscious (as the book) - however this movie never found a pulse or a semblence of life to me. I hope Malick remains in seclusion this time.
