Title: Science fiction and romance collide in the Fountain!
Review: Science fiction and romance collide .... That's the way the [...] review of this flick begins, and they are absolutely right! Unfortunately, the story does not survive the collision. According to the "special features," which were even more boring than the movie, the screenplay was written by a graduate student who was "into the Maya stuff". Never buy a screenplay by a graduate student! Summing up the main character, it seems that he is the world's first, and hopefully only, Roman Catholic-Buddhist Mayan conquistador-doctor-baldheaded guy. The lighting guy went on and on about "creating a mood", but it was almost impossible to see half of the movie because it was so dark. My mood became one of impatience and exasperation. The actors has virtually nothing to work with, and will probably bear the scars of this collision for years. In summary - A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
