In any film involving the destruction of the globe, we know that, if it is not to be saved, there must be a "money shot" depicting the actual cataclysm. I doubt any could do better than von Trier does here. There are no tidal waves. No animals fleeing through burning forests. No skyscrapers falling. None of that easy stuff. No, there is simply a character standing on a hill and staring straight at the impending doom, as von Trier shows it happening in what logically must be slow motion, with a fearsome preliminary merging of planetary atmospheres.

So dull and worse still sloooow. Painful first hour of arty irrelevant drivel followed by a better second hour that you hope will ignite some kind of gripping finale. Instead you just spend that hour thinking 'f**king die already!!'. Reminded me of how I felt watching The Deer Hunter but that's supposed to be some sort of classic so what do I know!

It was painfully slow at times, but visually, as with all of von Trier's movies, it was stunning.

I actually liked the movie, its different from other movies and yeah best parts of the movie were kristen dunts bewbs :D , and the last scene was also epic

geeky_herman - You pretty much summed up that film in an excellent way. It pretty much sucked.
