It was intense. In the beginning there wasn't a lot if time to read the two paragraphs. It was be because it was a screening (no previews) and people were still talking. I understood more at the end with the pictures and explination than I did the entire movie.

The acting was good, but the writing was trite. I didn't feel like there was enough background to care about the characters and I could have done without the love story as that was not very believable.

Too long, good story but not one of my favorites. Would recommend.

Visually: beautiful, The story: so important, Dialogue: Bad. Bad. Bad. Ugh. I wanted to like this so much more than I actually liked it. The actors are wonderful, but this movie lacked fundamental direction.
