Review: The mystery of Life shall remain just that. In no way will this confusing tale of parallel existences solve any riddles of the universe. Conquistador Tomas Creo, scientist Tommy Creo and Tom the 26th century astronaut (Hugh Jackman), all one in the same, and all seeking the Tree of Life but in different time periods, will confuse you, but will compensate by offering some interesting visuals. Warning, any story that attempts to span thousands of years in an hour and a half has its work cut out for it.

You might ask, “What would make a man travel through the perils time and space?”

The answer is simple, to save the life of the woman he loves, Izzie (Rachael Weisz). A love story from the first frame, writer/director Darren Aronofsky leads us on an almost sacred chase to solve the mystery of life before Izzie’s time runs out and she succumbs to a 21st century disease. Always racing against time, the multi faceted protagonist must stop at nothing to bend time in her favor.
