Review: 3.5 Stars. AO Scott, New York Times.
Terrence Malick’s new film contemplates human existence from the standpoint of eternity. Recently showered with temporal glory at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or, this movie, Mr. Malick’s fifth feature in 38 years, folds eons of cosmic and terrestrial history into less than two and a half hours. Its most provocative sequences envision the origin of the universe, the development of life on earth (including a few soulful dinosaurs) and then, more concisely and less literally, the end of time, when the dead of all the ages shall rise and walk around on a heavenly beach.
Cocktail hour is 5-6pm Refreshments also available at the movie.
Movie Starts: 8pm. Please be prompt. Tickets: Adults: $10, Conc: $8, MIFS Members: Free. At: The Endeavour Room, (next to reception) All Seasons, 61 Mandalay Ave, Nelly Bay. Presented by the Magnetic Island Film Society.
