Three stories - one each from the past, present, and future - about men in pursuit of eternity with their love. A conquistador in Mayan country searches for the tree of life to free his captive queen; a medical researcher, working with various trees, looks for a cure that will save his dying wife; a space traveler, traveling with an aged tree encapsulated within a bubble, moves toward a dying star that's wrapped in a nebula; he seeks eternity with his love. The stories intersect and parallel; the quests fail and succeed.
The Fountain overflows with pretensions and absurdity.
Though his movie is visually inventive, writer/director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) has fashioned a ponderous, overblown, genre-bending mess. What he is able to accomplish stylistically he cannot pull off in the arena of narrative substance.

Greeted by booing at its first press unspooling, pic's hippy trippy space odyssey-meets-contempo-weepy-meets-conquistador caper starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz suffers from a turgid script and bears all the signs of edit-suite triage to produce a still-incoherent 95 minutes. A gush of negative word of mouth will keep B.O. figures at a trickle.
In the works for seven years, The Fountain emerges as a baffling project that even the director will find difficult to explain. Fans of Darren Aronofsky, who made his name with Pi (1998) and Requiem For A Dream (2000), are in for another intense ride, but one marked with the scars of its production history. In 2002, the $70 million production was ready to roll when star Brad Pitt pulled out, causing the project to collapse just weeks before the shoot was due to start.
In retrospect, Pitt's decision seems wise, although only the bones of the original story remain, with Aronofsky subsequently re-writing the script so that he could shoot it for half the budget. The...
