There were 2 reasons why I watched this movie - firstly, I've read good reviews about it, secondly, there was one of my favorite actors starring in it. But I didn't enjoyed it at all. First challenge for my patience was that long slow-motion beginning. In fact, all the movie was slow. The characters were unlovable. They acted in the ways I couldn't understand. Most of the movie I was wandering ''what a f... is going on???''. I know, they were all depressed and melancholic, facing the possibility of the end of the world, but even in that context they sucked badly. For that reason, their suffering didn't move me at all, and, as nothing more was happening in the movie, I found it very boring. As I wasn't engaged in emotional aspects of the movie, I started to analyze the possibility of such a big unknown planet passing by and finally colliding with the Earth - and that didn't make any sense. The very collision was also nothing like I would imagine. I'm surprised that many people have found something familiar in this movie. I'm melancholic and I feel depressed almost all the time, but I couldn't find anything familiar in ''Melancholia''. I found this movie not as depressing as irritating.
