Everyone seems to like the cinematography, but most reviews I've seen say it has little plot, no character development, and terrible pacing - a major problem I had with A Thin Red Line.

There is more to a movie than pretty scenery.

I heard this was sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww. Which is typical of Malick, but I'm told this takes it to new heights.

Still gonna see it, at some point.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one...loved Malick's other films...a true master of the medium...not for everyone, but I'm a big fan.

Very little dialogue in long sections of the movie. Farrell is terrific, a brooding, gloomy, thoughtful presence. The movie misses him when he is absent for about a half hour, and then closes with a flourish when he resurfaces.
