On second watch I fell asleep Edit to my original review.
I tried watching it again at home, in order to see if I would stay awake this time. I did in fact fall asleep again. The ever blowing horns and that über slow pace, for which there is no apparent reason, makes for a really boring film.
Yes, it is grand and the scope is huge.
But in a time when sci-fi has come so far, this thing takes itself far too serious. Another Jesus story from back in the day, that someone think we need. Not so sure why, honestly.
