Douglas Trumbull, legendary ever since doing the special effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey, came out of semi-retirement to consult on the visual effects for The Tree of Life. Many of the effects in The Tree of Life are indeed biological, and overall Upstream Color is indeed frequently mentioned as being somewhat similar to The Tree of Life. Mr. Trumbull though did not actually do the visual effects for Upstream Color. The visual/biological effects for Upstream Color were done by Bongani Mlambo, Jeff Walker and supervisor Tom Walker.

Christopher Nolan's narratives seem pedestrian and spelled-out in contrast to pretty much anything.

Sounds as confusing as that stupid film from last year called The Master. Hopefully its better than that completely unreadable film and not a disaster.

This was the first thing I thought when I read this too but didn't Emerson publish a poem called Walden as well? Thoreau's novel is much more well known and probably what is referenced in the film though either way. I'm glad I watched the trailer for this one too cause I don't know if reading this review alone would have persuaded me, the previews look gorgeous tho

Walden is by Thoreau, not Emerson.

Walden was written by Thoreau, not Emerson (whose first name was Ralph, middle name Waldo). Sounds like a very interesting film though. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the review.

…I don't get the synopsis. Guess I should see it myself.
