Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Must See Movie...

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Absolutely brilliant

The actors did there part really well, but the film at the beginning is a bit confusing...overall it's a dramatic, exciting and emotion film and I recommend it for people who like crying watching fiolms

Sean, Benicio, and Naomi turn in Oscar deserving performances in a screenplay that reveals itself little by little in a scrambled fashion. This film's disdain for chronological storytelling makes it all the more compelling and in fact brilliant! I know of people that saw the film who had no clue what happened but I was moved by the unorthodox screenplay and entranced throughout. Do we lose 21 grams of mass at the moment of death and is that 21 grams our soul? Does our soul continue on? I can't know, who can know, but it's intriguing to theorize and discuss. I rather like the idea that our souls do survive then inhabit some other life form (reincarnate souls is a comforting thought), but I've been knocked cold for a prolonged period of time and I can tell you from that experience the only thing I experienced was no experience at all! However I've had other experiences that convince me malevolent other world forces are at work which suggests there is other worldly good forces as well. God and Satan as an antagonist duality or one in the same? Don't the Freemasons believe God and Satan are one? By the way this is an amazing film!

Fourteen years after its appearance i just watched this movie for the first time, and i am certain: this is one of the best movies i have ever seen, probably in my top 3. I would say that everything about it is perfect, but i was especially impressed by the way the story is told. The fragmented scenes that jump back and forth in time, slowly build up the complete picture, making clear how everything relates together. Yet, the movie does not make a fragmented impression, it is a perfect mosaic of topmost artistic quality. The acting is phenomenal, with no exception, giving extra power to an original and gripping story. I was glued to the screen and could feel the emotions of the characters. Also a special note to the sound, that is done very well and plays an important role in the whole atmosphere that is created. With the changing of scenes the soundscape also changes, sometimes from noisy to total silence, or the other way around. And always in perfect sync with the visuals. A real piece of art, that certainly deserves a 10

I liked this film so much .. The story is good but Iñárritu style of telling the story makes it more interesting .. I didn't feel bored during the movie . You try to catch up with the events and what happened first and last , Who the hell are those guys , Are they good or bad !! makes you think the whole movie and even in the middle of it when you think you've got the event sequence and the story is told , it's still interesting , you can just enjoy the acting of the actors especially Naomi .. The film gives a meaning about what death and its circumstances bring to everyone around .. The story telling style is different and interesting ; it's not pure backwards ( like memento for example ) .. Scenes are shuffled in a way that makes you work your mind and enjoy this piece of art .. The only thing I wished it had been better is the music , That could have been more and more touching than what it is alreadyAbsolutely watchable , no regrets ..
