Title: The most visually stunning movie of all time
Review: I first saw this movie during it's original theatrical release in 1978 and was blown away. I declared it my favorite movie of all time, and in the 30 years since, no film has bumped it from this ranking. And I am an avid movie goer. Not wishing to spoil the magic of the original 70mm film, I refused to watch it on DVD. Then came the Criterion re-mastered DVD, HD-TV, surround sound... so I braved a re-viewing. While I can't say I experienced the film with equal awe and splendor, it non-the-less validated it's number 1 spot. Terrence Malick is peerless as a movie maker. Every frame is a work of art. The low-key story and dialogue harmonize perfectly with the visuals. The beauty of this film will quite literally take your breath away - those over 50 should have an AED nearby. I have goosebumps just thinking about it. Come on Criterion - release it on blu-ray!
