Am I the only one who didn't like it?


Overwrought and inappropriate soundtrack, pretentious voiceover, and utterly uninformative as a documentary - personally, I found this borderline unwatchable.

Well I´m thinking that perhaps it woulda been a good idea to further develop the surrounding fictional story - as it is now, the latter 2/3 of the film is just burning oilfield footage, which, mostly rather hypnotic and apocalyptic as it may be, does get a bit monotoneous. Awesome, haunting visuals as ever though - and there´s nothing pretentious about it either. I rate it 7-7,5/10.
