It's a very simple story actually, and there are tons on members here who rate it very highly.

I didn't like the Fountain either but I have only watched it once not because I didn't get it I just didn't think it was good. The acting seemed poor and the film was fairly slow paced. I will probably give it another try at some point though.

I think with a lot of the movies mentioned you just have to be in the right state of mind to watch them. It's very hard to appreciate a movie that's trying to be overly meaningful when all you wanted was to sit down, be entertained and escape for a couple hours. There are a few movies I hated on initial viewings but have learned to at least gain some appreciation for on repeat viewings. Examples would be Dark City, 2001 & 300.
