Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life opens across the US tomorrow, and these stills for the film look amazing. I’ve purposely been avoiding any news on it so I wouldn’t build up any expectations, but I couldn’t help but look at these images. I rarely go out to watch movies anymore thanks to Netflix, but this looks like something that would really benefit from a trip to the theater.

Anyone interested in seeing this film–don’t wait to see it on Netflix! The images and sound are too good to be seen on a small screen. Not going to spoil anything for people who haven’t seen it, but the movie is shot so beautifully.
A trip to the movies is worth every penny for this film. I saw a few weeks ago at a nearby independent theater and was not disappointed. The film is like one long string of poetry. It’s structure was vaguely reminiscent of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” I loved it because it made you think, something that is being lost at the movies in this day and age.
Watched it a few weeks ago. I did like the story independent scenes, they were just amazing. Indeed, 2001: A Space Odyssey immediatly was the fist thing that popped into my mind. But i have to say, that I was not able to enjoy the story (the rest) elements in the movie.
I saw this at the Embarcadero Cinema and it was amazing. I highly recommend it but it is a long film so be prepared.
didn’t tree of life come out at the end of may? i saw it may 27th in LA ..

Thanks everyone for sharing. Definitely going to have to check this out now.
Some beautiful and wondrous cinematic imagery? Yes, without question.
A great Malick film that ranks with the rest of his nearly flawless output?
Not so much.
Agreed. But Netflix is no reason to not experience the cinematic adventure. I used to love going to the movies when I was a kid, and still do. Theres something about the smells of popcorn and candy in the air. The seats, just everything. I love the movies. Especially a drama like this one. Im always curious why people would choose Netflix over the theatre.
Every photographer should see The Tree Of Life. More than anything else, the imagery tells the story in this film, which is what we all hope to achieve with our own imagery, whether it is moving or still.
can’t wait to see this film.
This film definitely lived up to it’s expectations. Imagery has really never been as powerful and moving in a movie up until now. You watch certain scenes an almost feel a sense of nostalgia because the subtleties of life are caught so well. I could talk hours about this movie but I’ll just leave you to go view it for yourselves!
Also… I was iffy when I heard there would be dinosaurs in it, but that scene was honestly one of my favorite in the movie.
This film discriminates people suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder and should be boycotted. Anyone exonerating it should be ashamed.
Great visuals. However one of the most clichéd, self indulgent, pretentious, ill conceived films I’ve seen for a while. I love profound cinema and am no stranger to some pretentious stuff, but this was just so damn cheesy. Avoid.
The visuals are awesome.
The Storyline? Not so great. See ^^
Honestly, was really disappointed by this film. Yes, the visuals were amazing, but the story was mostly crap and seemed to be artsy just for artsy sake. I was looking forward to this movie more than any other this year (“Another Earth” is a close second though, which comes out soon…here’s a link to the trailer: http://bit.ly/jAujHt) specifically because of the trailer. A movie with amazing cinematography and imagery makes a wicked cool trailer, but not necessarily an amazing film. I’ll probably watch it again when it comes out on blu-ray if just for the visuals, but all I could think when I was watching it in the theater was holy esoteric, batman…
Does any of you have infos if the film is going to be in cinemas ober here in europe?
Snooooze fest. I was fighting the urge to walk out of the theater. I agree the imagery was amazing but the lack of being able to feel any connection with the characters made this movie feel like a collage of random images from someones memory. I felt like you could have shown the footage in any order and it still would have had the same effects. I honestly can’t remember much from this film because I was ready to fall asleep from watching it.
