However, film is often times much more than a visual experience. With little plot addressed, you'll find yourself entering an all-too-interpretive world. You're bound to be lost - and it isn't worth it for Malick's weakest film to date.… Expand

Terrence Malick is more in need of a writer, an editor, and a boss to tell him "umm no" than any other filmmaker in history. Someone hasn't went off the rails like this since George Lucas gave us those awful Star Wars prequels.

One of the all-time worst films! Some of the cinematography was okay, but this turgid MESS with no story or commendable acting added to LOUSY direction ... spare the audience! They were walking out after twenty minutes!

This movie was so bad that I ended up walking out of it. The plot is dull, and the film is so confusing that it makes the film a pain to watch. Don't waste your time or money on this film.

This movie is so bad I'm writing this as its playing in the theater. What a waste of money. Do not waste your money on this garbage. How someone have some guy money to make this, baffles me.

Knight of Craps = Shift + delete

As for me, this director is done. His last best film was 'The New World'. I don't know why someone keeps financing him. It is neither an art and message film, nor has any entertainment value. In one word,Knight of Craps = Shift + delete

As for me, this director is done. His last best film was 'The New World'. I don't know why someone keeps financing him. It is neither an art and message film, nor has any entertainment value. In one word, total-crap. All the above, these actors agreeing to do the roles. Definitely this director's films have received more boos at Cannes than any others. Not fit for film festivals, as well as theatrical releases. The surprise part was, I saw it. Even after I felt a similar way for his previous film.

There's no story. Just a random acts. Even documentary films have a better narrative. Remember a film was being made by Willem Dafoe in the film 'Mr. Bean's Holiday', this is exactly the same film. Except there's no Mr. Bean/Atkinson here to make it a cheerful additional editing. It was like the director woke up in the morning and decided to do what he felt to shoot without a script.

I dislike whispering background narration. It is like a lullaby, one might fall into sleep. Not just asleep, but a deep sleep. Direct dialogues between the characters are like an oasis in this film. If you have nothing to do and ready for a slow film, you should not consider it then too, because it is not a film, but a two hour long torture. Easily skippable film.

What a boring, narcissistic load of dribble this movie is.
Outside of going on one big ego trip, I have no idea what Malick is trying to achieve here.
