When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Or at least get mad at! I didn't stream this a while back because of the bad reviews but when I found this movie at Dollar Tree for a buck in BLU-RAY no less, I grabbed it! I was really hoping that people exaggerated or didn't get the movie. The previous reviews panning it were not wrong, I was for choosing to view it anyway. This movie is so bad, and I normally love bad movies, it actually borders on Movie Patron abuse! Don't even watch it out of curiosity. At least I got to fast forward it after a while.

I appreciate the approach letting the film tell the story and allow us to get inside what they are experiencing. The down side is not really being able to read the subtitles because it's done so subtly, it's difficult to stay connected because you can barely read them. It's a film meant to be seen in a theater. It needs to surround you.

I never imagined Oklahoma could be so atmospheric, and I grew up there. I think this a movie you either love or hate. It is visual poetry and you must think for yourself. And requires more work than most are willing to put into watching a film. So to each their own. Oh, why is the light of love so often cruel? Even God's? I related to Marina quit a bit and have known more than one Neil, alas. People who suck the love and energy right out of you. Take all you give, pretending otherwise, and put nothing back. Even the priest feels this in his own spiritual relationship, as he sees life from the bottom up. That is what I got out of it, among other things, but this is a movie that is very personal, so my experience won't necessarily be yours. Gorgeous photography, music that pushes the film forward and elicits emotion. A story told in beautiful images. Marina's hyperactivity was her love taking physical form and expression. When sad, she slowed down. Sucked dry. When you turn to another to recharge, even though that is no answer, and you are cheating on yourself as much as on your partner. Affleck/Neil was well cast, as he played a statue. Or more like a drain, pulling Marina's freely given love down and out. Their genders could have been reversed. This was not a commentary on men or women. As what was the priest in that scheme? I could go on, but what a great way to spend a couple hours!

I think this is a film about the uncertainty, changeability and unpredictability of human feelings, at least for whom who try to live them sincerely, showed and directed in the Malick's way: slowness, grace, tenderness, beauty of the images the screen and the lights, and voice-over. This concerns not only the unstable love between the main couple, Neil (Ben Affleck) and Tatiana (Olga Kurylenko) but also the faith of a priest (Javier Bardem) in front of life events, and the affair between Neil and Jane (Rachel McAdams). Malick doesn't give answers; better, the only answer in front of this is the beauty of images and feelings of the true moments, enriched by the grace of love (which is of course the grace of Olga Kurylenko's playing). It seems like in front of this beauty, the film says that yes, this beauty and grace is worth the struggles who arise from uncertainty, changeability and unpredictability of human feelings.
