I am shocked at how much I really enjoyed this movie. I'm actually pretty pissed at myself for not taking this movie in while in theaters. I thought for sure based on the trailers for this that it was going to be horribly bad and the almost 3 hour running time made my expectations for it even worse. I couldn't have possibly been more wrong. This movie was awesome. The cinematography was phenomenal and at no point did it drag even with the massive running time. You find yourself completely hooked by all of the characters and very attached to the voyages of all of them. This movie probably should have received more oscar consideration than it did.
I strongly recommend that everyone check this out. This movie is more than worth the visit to the store and rental fee.
