It's certainly beautiful to look at as director Wong Kar Wai employs three cinematographers, and the unconventional approach makes for an unpredictable experience; however, it's overwhelmingly uncertain about where it's going and why. It gave me the feeling that it was shot without a script as if the images and beautiful actors were thought of as enough to sustain momentum. A mild recommendation for those who can appreciate films that exist in a slow universe. Final Grade: C+

This was actually my first KWW. And, ironically, a movie that was rented because of the sci-fi content. So, in a way was thanks to my favorite genre that I discovered who's probably the most important director of the past 20 years. 2046 comes directly from ITMFL, wich gives to the movie a great aspect on the continuity issue. The poetic tones, the soundtrack (always great in KWW flicks) and the acting are all worthy of every second and penny you would spend on this one.

2046 is so beautiful it hurts to watch. Stories mix up with each other, but the thing that's always there is main characters unhappiness. What was his greatest lovestory? Dramatic and beautiful music, and I also really liked costumes in this. 2046 is just BEAUTIFUL.

This sequel of sorts to In The Mood For Love somehow manages to maintain the quality of the original while fitting into a more literary and science fiction world.
