Whoa.

Yeah it looks awesome, after seeing this trailer it shot up to the film I most want to see this year.

That's easily on my "that better be as freaking good as it looks" list. I can't wait.

Does this remind anyone of 2001, or is it just me?

That looks pretty cool, it will definitely be one to see.

Did anyone else try going to the film's website? I just get this weird menu with 4 different "views" and they show these strange pictures that look like lava lamps.

Visually stunning trailer, but idea of eternal life is pretty used.

Aronofsky's a genius. Can't wait for this one

Wow. Who's the DP for this? Jackman's scoring it big this fall with this and The Prestige.

The DP is Matthew Libatique. Same guy who did Pi and Requiem and a bunch of other movies.

Whoa.

Whoa indeed.

Apparently it got booed at the Venice Film Festival according to IMDB. people were left confused. I hope it was just the people who misunderstood the plot. I really want to like this

Not good.

I remember when the critics in my country, gave one star to a african film called "hero".
A couple months later, the same film won the award for best movie in sundance.
Critics hate Darren Aronofsky, no big deal.
I thought Requiem was nice btw.

It looks too excessive to me. We'll see if there are any worthwhile/intelligent ideas behind the CGI visuals.

FWIW 'The Brown Bunny' was booed at Cannes... take that as you will.

Actually Evan according to IMDB (which is God) Instead of using CGI, Aronofsky chose to do the special effects for the film by using micro-photography of chemical reactions on tiny petri dishes

very interesting.

Its official. Critics hate it. One of the best newspappers in my country called it: "very very very pretentious"...
But we all know that movie critics are sad wankers
