And I probably found more to like in the film because I "wanted" to like it.
The themes of time travel and immortality were presented in a novel way that really appealed to the sci-fi nut in me.
If one takes the story "literally", as in all three parts of the timeline actually occurring within the "world" of the story, I think the film acqires more of an epic flavor.
If one sees the middle story as the "real", and the other two as metaphoric creations of the characters, then the movie simply becomes an existential love-story, with nothing happening outside the realm of mundane reality.
And, as I stated in my OP, it was a beautiful film to look at.
Plus, Rachel Weisz is hot.
