Good start, but then it gets ruined

Excellent, smart action film.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

My dear movie so, I will not forget the end of the movie

The Fountain is the one movie that made me aware of the existence of a director named Darren Aronofsky. He is one of those directors who make even the best skilled actors better and he inspired (or directed) Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz to make some of their best and most remarkable performances in their career. (I will never forget how Aronofsky reanimated the actor Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler).The Fountain is fantastic, poetic, truly creative and a trip into a dimension of movie making only very rare movies ever reach. Unbelievable good. Truly outstanding. Best of the best.

I was intrigued by this film for a few reasons, because of the leading actor and actress, because of the director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Mother!), and because it was rated highly by critics, I hoped for something great. Basically it involves three story lines, taking place in three interweaving narratives, in three places in time, with the same characters in three guises. The past is the 16th century, during the time of the Mayans, the present is 2005, in a hospital, and the future is the 26th century, in a spaceship with a biosphere. In the past, Conquistador Tomás Verde (Hugh Jackman) searches for the Tree of Life, offering immortality, for him and his love, Queen Isabella (Rachel Weisz). In the present, Tom Creo (Jackman) is a doctor losing his wife Izzi (Rachel Weisz) to cancer, she begs him to spend what time they have left together, but he desperately seeks a cure. In the future, space traveller Tommy (Jackman) spends most of his time enclosed in the biosphere, containing the Tree of Life he seeded, above the grave of Isabel. The three stories are in a non-linear and non chronological order, interwoven with match cuts and visual motifs, it is essential the same story each time, with lovers connected by the fate of the "fountain", but ultimately the characters have to learn come to terms with death. Also starring Ellen Burstyn as Dr. Lillian Guzetti, Mark Margolis as Father Avila, Stephen McHattie as Grand Inquisitor Silecio, Fernando Hernandez as Lord of Xibalba, Cliff Curtis as Captain Ariel, Sean Patrick Thomas as Antonio and Ethan Suplee as Manny. Jackman and Weisz give good performances, there are certainly plenty of visually engaging moments, I will be completely honest though, it is not a movie that is easy to follow, as long as you understand the love story, and get the gist of the philosophical stuff about love, immortality, death and the meaning of life, it is a pretty perplexing but profound enough experience, an interesting enough romantic science-fiction drama. It was nominated the Golden Globe for Best Original Score for Clint Mansell. Good!

Fantastic movie with fantastic special effects graphics. Darren use real world chemical reactions for creating space effect in this movie, and this is fantastic. I saw this movie 2 times in a row and 4 times totally. Very impressive scenario and very deep idea and "language of cinema"
