Agree and agree... Some very poignant moments. Very, very powerful... And -- in total -- those moments probably added up to no more than 5 of those 139 minutes.

It's as though T.Malick HATES the audience. Either that or he's completely OBLIVIOUS to the excruciating tedium that inhabits this film. Some POWERFUL moments, good performances (best work of B.Pitt's career), agree that it's VISUALLY STUNNING, but it's not a good film.

Not at all worthy of the Oscar hype it's getting, imho...
