This is a tough one to break down. The movie was brilliantly shot, but I must say that it seemed to fail at ever fully creating the majestic mood it was going for. The pacing made it very tough to become completely engaged in the first half of the movie. The second portion did take it up a notch and add something to the film.
It mainly felt like he made this film as an excuse to tell the origins of film, or at least through one persons life. The acting was hit and miss, but overall I enjoyed the film because it tried to have a big heart and that is at least worth something.
These are just my thoughts, I'd suggest that you watch the film yourself and see what you think.
