Have you seen that movie? What's your take on it? I thought the story was different but it failed to grip the audience as it gets a little boring in between. What would you say about it?

I really like this movie. For one thing it is different from any movie I have watched. The plot is original. And what can I say? I love Brad Pitt! I thought it was tastefully done and it was not generic, meaning it looked like they spent a little to make it.

It was nominated for several Oscars and even won a couple. I didn't think that it was necessarily boring but I did think it was too long. It was decent, but it reminded me too much of Big Fish and I liked Big Fish a lot better.

I have seen the movie. Are you sure that the movie was a failure? I heard that it is even nominated for Oscar (for some reason - cosutume or music or whatever). I have watched the movie - it is fine. I feel that the theme is very stupid - a person born as an old man and die as a baby because somebody has created a clock which run backwards. The way the presnted the movie is interesting. I mean the build up the stupid theme in an interesting way. It is worth watching one time.

I never said it was a failure, I just said it didn't liked it much as for me it got boring in the middle. Yeah..I feel same about the movie it was very unrealistic but I was amazed how Brad Pitt acted so well and his make up as an old man was amazing too. Definitely everyone should see that once, even if they don't like everything about it, they would certainly like something in it. Thanks for the response.

Because I felt it while watching that movie, it kinda gets boring in the middle as nothing really seemed to be working out. Thanks for your response.

I think this story is a little like the novel--The Great Gatsby. I wacthed this movie just because the director. I guess this one is quit different from his other movies. Actually, the director is not good at this theme so the movie have some downsides, just as you said, it got a little boring and the plot was not brief.But the visual special effects were great and Pitt was not bad. By the way, I were touched by the simple words "good night,Bejamin"
