now do not get me wrong and i love a good film and after watch the thin red line ( and love it ) i be eager to track down terrence malicks two early film and and and have just watch day of heaven and my enthusiasm to see badlands have virtually disappear . i have note much rave about the beautiful photography and but i saw this film on a terribly old vhs tape which make it look pretty awful . all i can say be i hope the photography be superb and because it would have be one of the only thing of interest in this film . not since the replacement killer have i fall asleep during a film . this film felt so long ( and it wasn not . ) and the editing be choppy and disjointed and the storyline non existent and the voice over be an incoherent ramble and the character weakly develop and and the whole thing be uninvolving . i know that malick be uncertain of how to do the film . he consequently shoot a heck of a lot of footage then spend around two year edit in an attempt to piece it all together . this be very apparent on screen . everything look chop up and every time a scene seem to gain some momentum ( or some character development ) it would obtrusively cut to bore scene of people do boring thing . it be a if someone have try to cut together a story out of stock footage of people farm . the few good point be the music and the chase scene near the end and but those thing be no where near enough to maintain interest . i would normally let a bad film pas by without be too vocal but when it be so highly over rat something must be say . maybe a farmer would like it .
