    Against what most critics said about this film, I found it profoundly poetic and visually fulfilling.

    I love the last scene.

    This is one of those surreal strange twisty movies that you know was amazing but you kind of hate it too...I thought it was fascinating and beautiful and confusing.

    Bizarre movie about ice-skating and the end of the world? I need to watch it again to completely understand what the hell happened. Did love Clair Danes and Mr Phoenix.

    i have extremely mixed feelings about this movie.. it's a love story told in global warming time.. but, it's more than just a enviromental factors whatsoever.. but, it's more like Love or feelings the human beings hav, how they think and feel that affect the universe, how 'distur...( read more)bances', distortions, disorders in human beings that eventually make the world as it is..

    Ugandans flying (actually i don't understand why they chose Uganda of all countries.. i'll research some more) - contradicting the law of gravity - the fate of human beings, snowing in July, fresh water frozen for two minutes, people 'cloning' someone famous just to keep business busy.. it's a crazy crazy and scary world! absurd!

    there's nothing more colder than anything opposite of Love.. imagine love as a warm peaceful and sincere feeling where what you see in this movie is cold dead bodies lying on practically almost anywhere.. and the alive ones don't care, they just walk over them.. saying "ah, those are the ones died from heart problems", it means loneliness and lack of love. imagine right now the gas price skyrocketing, but, later.. we don't know when.. the price of love would be out of reach.. Elena sleeps all the time due to her heart problem, it's too hurtful going on with her life alone.. lonely.. it's almost close to dying itself.

    the monologue by Sean Penn is one thing that keeps the movie interesting.. overall, i find this movie rather bizarre..... and somewhat unfinished. or is that the purpose? because the journey is still long...?

Quite simply, the film is a bore. A plodding, uninteresting, incoherent mess. full review
