Title: Wasted effort
Product review: I can't believe this movie was made by David Fincher. This is the guy who had directed 'Se7en' and 'Fight Club', two movies that are totally mind-bending and truly amazing. This movie is as confused as it can be. It tries to be a romance, a biography, a drama and perhaps a science fiction too, but sadly, succeeds at none. Many people are complaining that it's slow and long. That's still OK with me if the movie has something interesting or new to tell. It's really annoying to see it to be so 'Forrest Gump'-style and so pure sugary syrup. The idea of reverse aging could have been interesting if treated differently, but now when I think about the movie, it just makes me chuckle.I stopped watching a hour and a half into the movie. I kind of knew what was in store and didn't want to regret wasting another hour and a half.David Fincher, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett -- it's sad to see so much talent go to waste.
