I saw The Fountain tonight.
The movie is very unusual; it interweaves three stories set in different times; one in the past, one in the present, and one in the future. The stories have a common thread; the search for immortality.
The stories are connected in a way that is not obvious, even after the movie has finished. Indeed, it was only when driving home that I started piecing together the clues that make it fit together.
The visuals are gorgeous, and the acting by Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz is very good. It reminded me a lot of Solaris, which also had beautiful visuals and a thought provoking theme.
I highly recommend this movie.
Update: Here is my analysis of the plot.
Can't agree more with your analysis. Great movie and exceptional cinematography. This is the movie that leaves you thinking about it for a long time.
