A lot of people don't like this movie because they believe it's too hard to understand. However, it pretty straight forward, it's simply a representation of what someones goes through before dying, and i believe quite strongly that it's pretty close to that. The whole movie is just a big nightmare and a mental fight for survival. There is many references to death throughout the movie. Have you ever had a dream where somebody you barely know was suddenly close to you, and in your dream it seems like you've known him forever, for example your cousin's friend might suddenly be your brother and seems like he's always been. That's what happens to Jacob's with with his girlfriend. It might seems that the movie skips from one point to another but don't all dreams do exactly that. If you have something bothering you, you might dream of it at night. Jacob's concern was his survival, The movie is simply a representation of dreams. You can relate to Jacob's mental struggles through your dreams. This movie is very underrated, I believe it is one of the best motion picture every created, it's very original, and it leaves you thinking for days, the author is extremely clever!! Almost flawless in my opinion, 10 out of 10!!

This film is the smartest comedy I have ever seen, a lot of jokes are either a parody of another film, (from star wars to dragon ball to power rangers to kung fu etc..) or somehow related to history of whatever, (Otis creates the elevator), a lot of jokes are also related to the modern world and made fun of because it was B.C. (Like the wheels of the horse wagon spinning) Other jokes are just plain total non-sense but also hilarious (like the famous scene, with the dog running after the roman guy with the little music) In fact in this movies they mix pretty much every kind of humor. I watched this film 6 times already and every single time I watch it I find other subtle jokes. (like the scene where waldo is part of the Egyptian crowd). It is the funniest movie I have every seem, finally a laugh-out-loud comedy, that doesn't include toilet or sex humor. Numerobis is also what makes the movie, everything that comes out of that guys mouth is hilarious. This movie is nearly perfect except a few clichéd thing, like the fact that Asterix gets his power back because he is kissed, that is plain stupid. But overall an excellent movie!! 9.5 out 10
