Description:
Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Past, present, future. Through time and space, one man embarks on a bold 1000-year odyssey to defeat humankind's most indomitable foe: Death. Hugh Jackman plays that man, devoted to one woman (Rachel Weisz) and determined to protect her from forces that threaten her existence. His quest leads him to a Tree of Life...and to an adventure into eternity. Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) directs, continuing his string of imaginative, involving filmmaking with a tale alive with ideas and filled with astonishing vistas. 'Not many films can blow your mind and break your heart at the same time, but this one will' (Drew McWeeny, Ain't It Cool News).
Amazon.com:
Science fiction and romance collide in The Fountain, the ambitious third feature from director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream), who labored for four years to complete this epic-sized love story that stretches across centuries and galaxies. Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz (Aronofsky's real-life companion) play lovers in each of the film's three settings--16th century Europe and America (Jackman is a Spanish explorer searching for Incan magic), the present day (Jackman is a doctor attempting to cure his dying wife), and the 26th century (Jackman is a space traveler seeking a gateway to the afterlife)-–who struggle mightily to stay united, only to lose each other time and again. Aronofsky may not have chosen the easiest presentation for audiences to absorb his theories on the lasting qualities of life and the transformative powers of death-–the final sequence, in particular, with a bald Jackman floating through space in a bubble, harks back uncomfortably to 'head movies' of the late '60s-–but his leads have considerable chemistry (and look terrific to boot), which goes a long way towards securing viewers' hopes for a happy ending. Critical reception for The Fountain has been nothing short of bloodthirsty, with Cannes audiences booing, but there are elements to enjoy here, even if the premise throws one for a loop. Ellen Burstyn (who earned an Oscar nomination for Requiem) delivers a typically solid performance as Jackman's boss in the present day sequence, and special effects (most done without the benefit of CGI) are also impressive given the film's low budget (spurred by a mid-production shutdown after original stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett ankled the picture). And science-fiction fans whose tastes run towards the metaphysical (Asimov, Le Guin) will appreciate the attempt to present the genre in a serious light.--Paul Gaita

Darren Arafnosky is simply a genius. Huge Jackman does the character of his career. The soundtrack is unbelievable.
Rating: - One of My Favorite Movies
This movie explores a complicated emotion in a very complicated way, and it pretty much hits the nail on the head, those who have experienced what this movie portrays in their personal lives will find this movie bringing that feeling back.
Though we don't want to feel it again, this movie will help you remember and may even help you understand these sorts of things even better.
Needless to say it is absolutely beautiful, perhaps mildly complicated, but the complex parts ... Read More
Rating:  - The Fountain Doesn't Give Life, It Takes Away Time
In what many called an epic and visual spectacular, must have taken the same stuff as the overrated Aronofsky. First off, the visuals weren't that great. Sure, it's impressive he did it on a budget, but I'm not calling a room on HGTV a brilliant piece of art because it looks moderately livable, on a budget.
Secondly, the story literally put me to sleep. I never really got the whole 3 parallel storylines, and I never really got how he got to any of them. Are they different people, or ... Read More
