Malick's an excellent director as well, it was very disappointing to see him wasting his time on a film destined for the shit chute of failure.
Thank you for your insightful observations. I cannot contest your perception, as one cannot argue about taste. As for the film's appeal to me, at the risk of sounding pretentious, I shall paraphrase Malick's dialog: "I saw another world."
