My feelings upon leaving the theatre: frustration, bewilderment, disappointment... I was actually speechless.
If you are going to go see this in theatres, and you smoke, I highly recommend burning a spliff prior. It might ease the ending. Hell, the ending might even appear "enlightening".

OK I think these two posts, in that order, are my exact feelings on the movie. You nailed what I thought completely.
First hour was fucking incredible. I was like holy shit I love this movie so much right now. Then it stopped whatever it was doing and turned into something else and got real slow and I started to dislike the characters. When I left the theater I was like I dunno.
But now when I think about it, it was kind of amazing. I want to see it again. I feel real confused. It was a trip for sure.
