A boring, glorified love story that never really delivers anything. There are some interesting scenes, but they are few and far between and last for 10 seconds in a nearly 2 hour film. The story is interesting, but sadly has about as much substance as wafer thin ham. This is one for you to stream at home, so you can turn it off after 10 minutes and watch something more enjoyable.

It is stunningly amazing movie, loved the fantasy elements and how they were portraited. The two main actors were really good in their roles. The love story might not be for everyone I guess but I really enjoyed it. It was not that random as people say. And in a way it is a happy ending so kudos for that.

A beautiful story, very well told, but the ending leaves me wanting. After everything in the main crux of the movie, it was just underwhelming.

When all cinema has to offer these days are rehashes, sequels and prequels, it's nice when you find a product that's truly unique. Although based on a short story by A.S. Byatt, Three Thousand Years Waiting for You is new and original, and that alone makes it worth seeing.

But it is also an excellent film about betrayal, desires and waiting. But above all, it is a film about love. Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton give an impeccable performance (which one can easily imagine in a play), interspersed with visual effects that are delightful. Both keep you gripped and your heart in a fist, doubting whether it will end as you think it will, or whether this story, as the protagonist says, will be written by her in her own handwriting.

An Australian surprise from a director who has accustomed us to visual spectacles (Mad Max: Fury Road).

Beautiful in every detail, Tilda and Idris delivering an astonishing performance by simply talking about what love really is.

A visually stylish and elegant love story set in a fantasy world. I found the fantasy parts and world building to be much more alluring that the love story parts. Tilda and Idris were both great in their roles but I was never convinced about their chemistry and found it very random what both characters went for. My favorite parts of the movie were the flashbacks but I wasn't the biggest fan of everything in the present.

Loving crafted and well acted film where the characters mostly swap stories and discuss what it means to love.

The pacing is a bit weird and slow at times but overall the movie has a lot to say and says it well. It reminded me of The Fall in some ways, and I mean that as a compliment.

Good movie. The story kept me interested. At the end of the day I'd say it was a love story.

Most of the movie takes place over a night in a hotel room. But the Jinn is telling stories about his past. I enjoyed each of the stories and the way they progressed you through the film. Overall it was just a good movie with a great story.

What an unusual movie. The pacing was erratic and the arc was fractured but the one thing that could hold this film together was going to be the casting of the two lead characters and they nailed it. Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba were the glue for this far sweeping fantasy. It wasn’t until the credits rolled that I realized we had been serenaded by a beautiful score from the very beginning. This will not be a film for everyone but in it’s genre it is fresh and transcendent. I give this film an 8 (an homage to the power of stories) out of 10. [Drama Romance]

I started watching this movie with some trepidation because it seemed like it could go either way. In the end, I found it to be slow and mostly boring with a few bits of action here and there that were moderately interesting. I think the CGI was decent, the acting was good but the story just wasn't told, in my opinion, in a compelling way that made me want to get drawn into the movie.

Maybe it just wasn’t the best Friday night viewing, but I can’t believe how patronised I felt throughout this whole film.

A sprawling, fantastic love story told with stunning production and subtle craft. Don’t skip the big screen experience on one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it.

A visual delight and stories are well told. There is; however, something missing. Still I'd recommend it as a visual treat w solid acting by the main pair. 6.7
