Looks pointless and overwrought...like all Terrence Malick movies. Ummm...what? Malick is a visionary, DAYS OF HEAVEN is one of the most beautifully shot movies I've ever seen and it's far from a "pointless" and "overwrought" movie. I get not liking a director, but to call Malick's work pointless is a bit much. At times pretentious and indulgent, yes but he's one of the few filmmakers left with a true vision and you can see that in the trailer. When I went to see BLACK SWAN, I saw this trailer and it's really meant to be seen in the big screen (it makes a big difference), some of those shots are just breath-taking when seen on the big screen. Brad Pitt actually looks really good, he keeps getting better and better the older he gets and this is coming from someone who didn't use to be a fan at all. Sean Penn will probably be his usual brilliant self.
The movie has great buzz too, with some people who've seen it saying that it changes the language of cinema. Of course that's way overblown and I hardly doubt the movie does that, but I'm sure it'll be a really interesting film. I for one can't wait to see it.
