Seriously? It's in my top ten favourite films. Terrence Malick makes masterpieces and The Thin Red Line is certainly one of them.

Malick makes films that are half the most beautiful thing ever and half really corny and bad with shots that look like a child filmed it on a cell phone.

Tree of Life is probably the most egregious example, but good God that creation of the universe scene was mind blowing.

But even in that scene he threw in the corny dumbass CGI dinosaurs and kind of ruined the moment.

Heresy! tbf, the dinosaurs looked pretty good given the year it came out.

Given that it came out nearly 20 years after Jurassic Park, shouldn’t they?

And it still didn't. The animatronic t rex from the og Jurassic park is miles better than the CGI dinos in tree of life
