    Again I ask myself a simple question

    Why do humans go to movies? Perhaps to be film critics but the there is a critic for every phase of life it seems.

    When I watch a movie I immerse myself in it while watching enjoying the effort

    This creation has incredible music and scenery and while immersed I did enjoy it.

    After I did think the linking of the two time lines was a bit weak, most likely the creation of the editing. Overall watch a movie not to be be Roger Ebert, that guy has not enjoyed a movie since he was diapers, but to enjoy the story let your mind fill in the blanks

    There are an exceptional amount of critics and not enough individuals who enjoy a story

    Turn off the world and enjoy this movie the short comings fade into the story

    I did enjoy it and it will soon leave my memory because it is fantasy

    The key word here is FANTASY its make believe something I do think many fail to notice ;)

    Thoughts??

    Immersive, ironic I think soo. Had to watch twice to really appreciate the acting and directing as well. Made sense character positioning and script had been thought over it's only obvious. Great scenic views and I'm thrilled that there was even a super villain moment with a *spoiler alert people!!* woman positioned in power. The use of props was clearly evident for all to see so I guess overall, this gave movies a whole new meaning. And to ask anyone who knows Bollywood Bipasha does not underdeliver, mixed with abit of Hollywoods sweet heart Josh Hartnett great and awesome duo. Thanks to them, another great film.

    It's the movie that sank, not the ship

    I was surprised at the bad reviews when I started watching the film. A lot of effort went into this production, with good acting, an interesting story line, time travel, adventure and history. The chase to save or kidnap the queen kept me glued to the screen. It was a thrilling roller coaster for about three-quarters of the film. The last quarter gave mixed messages, jumbled conclusions and added more loose ends. Where was the director, did he fall asleep? The whole story hinges on an underwater discovery of a sunken British ship. What ship? Who was on it? Who drowned? The last time we saw the rings they were in the hands of the two characters in 1778 in a forest in India. How did the rings get on a ship? Not by the dead character in the forest! The last quarter of the film simply sinks the movie.

    Wonderful story gone bad

    I don't know how to describe it, how to put my finger on it, but it's pure and simply boring and it does not sink me into the story, it makes me want to fall asleep.

    The story could have been good, but it was poorly execute. It feels broken, tangled in a silly way and the actors play is anything but credible. I started watching it 3 times and only got to the middle of it as I find it has no substance and nothing interesting.

    Simply it is no "The mission" no "The fountain" no nothing I would want to watch to the end.

    I give it 3 stars for the settings, landscapes and for the idea, nothing else.

    So little water

    There's a Neapolitan saying that describes how bad this movie is perfectly: La aqua e pocca e a papera nun galeggia. There is so little water, not even a duck could swim.

    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      [Instrumental music]

      Sadhu: Why are you frightened child?

      Tulaja Naik: I'm disturbed by my visions, Gurdev. I see strange figures... in white. In some strange place full of light. I see a man in some other place in a blood red coat. And I see a ring which shimmers in a blue light.

      [ominous wind gusting]

      Sadhu: You wish to know the meaning of these visions, child... come what may?

      [Tulaja nods]

      Sadhu: There was a ring, child. Long ago. It was forged of eternal love. One ring made of two rings. To fit together, both halves had to be pure at the first moment of love. After much toil, a match was finally created. The two halves combined... and formed a single ring. It is said, that once united... even if separated by an ocean or an age... they will always reunite. They are called, "The Lovers."
