The Fountain
"The Fountain" is an odyssey about one man's eternal struggle to save the woman he loves. His epic journey begins in 16th-century Spain, where conquistador Tomas (Hugh Jackman) commences his search for the Fountain of Youth, the legendary entity believed to grant immortality. As modern-day scientist Tommy Creo, he desperately struggles to find a cure for the cancer that is killing his beloved wife, Isabel (Rachel Weisz). Travelling through deep space as a 26th-century astronaut, Tom begins to grasp the mysteries that have consumed him for a millennium. The three stories converge into one truth, as the Tomas of all periods - warrior, scientist, and explorer - comes to terms with life, love, death and rebirth.

Didn't knoiw whethe rthis was a five or a zero.
Certain aspects of this film are truly remarkable. The premise is remarkable and the acting compelling. Then there are times when stronger direction is needed and the viewer is left feeling a little left out. It is a self absorbing film, the director is clearly following his desires. One you will either love or hate.
