I get what it wants to talk about: the fear of finding out the person you love most is not the person you thought he or she was. The fear of finding out you are by yourself after all. It is a worthy subject to make a movie about, so if you are interested in exploring this idea, there is a great movie called Tourist that you can watch instead of this movie.I'm very forgiving of artsy movies because I assume the directors must know more about the art than I do, and I'm a snob so I suck up to everything artsy. But there is a limit to being indulgent. What unfolds in this movie is hardly emphasizable. Since there is a much better movie that talks about the mangled idea of The Loneliest Planet much better, I recommend others to avoid being sucked by misleading accolade and seek worthier entertainment.

This movie was an EPIC waste of life. After debating on whether to watch this film or not multiple times, I decided to give it a shot. About an hour into the movie, I felt extremely bored as NOTHING had happened. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, thinking that there is no way a movie can be almost two hours long and have no point...I was wrong. I hung in there waiting for a moment of anything even remotely interesting, and I was severely let down. When I say nothing happens in this movie, I mean NOTHING. You are better off staring at the ceiling for hours than attempting to watch this life draining piece of crap. Just saying. Spare yourself the suffering of watching this movie. Seriously. There is no plot, almost no dialogue, and the dialogue that there is is nothing more than random gibberish, or it is inaudible anyway. There is no character building, and there are no explanations for any of the (very few...) actions that take place in this film. I have never actually been ANGRY at a movie until seeing this one, if you can even call it a movie. Don't waste your time.

The first 20 minutes, we gave this movie a chance, then I started fast forwarding.. By 50 minutes, it was clear we didn't miss anything... continue fast forwarding. Throughout the film there are maybe 3 5 minute scenes which basically ARE the movie. The rest is just people walking, eating, talking about nothing, sleeping, making out, etc. The two hour film could have been condensed into a nice 25 minute movie, but as it is, I found it incomprehensible and senseless. Also the girl is not very attractive. It's hard to write 10 lines of text about this movie. I will just say that the scenery is nice, but gets repetitive, and basically is at times little different from just looking at still photos. I also found the film quite predictable, in terms of what might happen and even how it's filmed. Basically its rather shallow and unsatisfying, kind of like chewing gum rather than eating something real.

Just watched the film in the cinema with friends. Firstly, I got uncomfortable because of going to a movie with some guys who prefer more dynamic films and by watching a movie, where the actions got so very prolonged two started to talk with each other, the third one fell asleep. I thought I was the only one who really pays attention, but then when it finished I was stunned to find that all of them had made a solid opinion so that we could discuss critically on the story and the relationship depicted. The film proved two thesis I have: 1. Same aswith relationship, there is no bad movie. It may not be perfect,but you can take something from everyone. "No regrets, just lessons learnt."2. There is no point making a big trip with your loved one. The journey is a way to explore yourself, not to check out how stable the connection between to persons is. I definitely recommend this movie. But please, have no expectations. It wan't give you the recipe for the perfect couple, but rather a bad example and an affirmation of how fragile the proximity based on a physical contact could be.
