From everything I've read and heard people are leaving the theaters in droves,and some demanding their money back. I'll wait for Netflix.

I just love that you're saying "we". :) Here's what Rotten Tomatoes had to say about Tree of Life: "Terrence Malick's singularly deliberate style may prove unrewarding for some, but for patient viewers, Tree of Life is an emotional as well as visual treat." You are definitely not alone, as there were 15% of reviewers who didn't like it either.

I too was disappointed recently, after watching the much anticipated Harry Potter final movie. What I've come to love about HP is that JK Rowling writes with such rich depth, and the movies reflect her musings well. This one was way too gimmicky for me. Totally about the special effects. I expected there to be some sort of delving into the personal relationships as this one ties that part up, nada. Well, lightly touched on it. But not really. I'm in a really small minority.
