Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) Movie Review

This is my Three Thousand Years of Longing Movie Review, where I talk my thoughts on this new George Miller Film. What is your Three Thousand Years of Longing Review for reaction? Thought on the ending as well, so be sure to explain how you feel below. Find the full movie in theaters this weekend.
Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic - content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.

Anybody remember when Austin played 'Genie in a Bottle' during his 'Aladdin' (2019) review?

[@OffTheCover]

I loved this film. So creative and full of imagination. It's what story telling in movies is all about! I wish it had been marketed better because it's not getting the attention it genuinely needs.

[@123rockfan]

I wish Tilda Swinton would do more comedic performances like her character in The French Dispatch. She was hilarious and her comedic timing was amazing

[@aoshi000]

She was great in snow piercer and okja too when playing over the top characters

[@xmtryanx]

She had a good character in Grand Budapest Hotel, as well!

[@TheElixir007]

This is one of those rare moments where I disagree with Austin. This is such a beautiful masterpiece. Anyone who has never fallen in love but really wants to will understand.

[@rhythmoriented]

I liked it a bunch, but see how it isn’t for everyone. The flashbacks were visually stunning imho, and alone worth the price of admission (especially King Solomon and Queen of Sheba’s sequence). I also thought they provided context for the conclusion. That said, RT fan scores are good, and IMDb rating actually has jumped since its release yesterday.

[@ejrwm]

Same here, I thought it was a great movie.

[@talkasab]

Agree. Austin should try it again, I think he missed a great experience. (Maybe he was hoping for Mad Max?)

[@ControlledBalance]

The movie is definitely worth watching and truly amazing. Might not be worth watching in the theatre but its going to be one of those cult films.

[@CriticalFangirl]

I absolutely enjoyed this film. The chemistry between Swinton and Elba was electric, the second-to-third act damn near brought me to tears, and the film's visual style made it an almost hypnotic viewing experience. Though I would have liked to know more about why or how Swinton's character could see Djinn and other spirits from the beginning.

[@VCatCrusader]

I think she could see them because she owned the bottle.

[@Yorki_Hardy]

The demon at the airport is an enemy. He is an old demon that turns into a spider. He wanted to interfere with the flow of fate. But they are very weak in the electric world.

[@gryfinryder]

I literally just watched this… and im blown away! It is top 5 films of ALL TIME for me. A masterpiece imo. Absolutely stunning. It is a highly intelligent and sophisticated film so i can see it being inaccessible to most of the populace. This film is brilliance in a bottle… literally. I would LOVE a sequel that expands the myth and magic with different characters.

[@RyanABXY]

I found the Djinn's retelling to be the only interesting parts. I was pretty grossed out by alot but it was interesting to say the least. After the first wish I lost all faith this was going to be a movie I'd like.

[@luca2348]

The retelling was definitely the best parts. The nudity was really gross and the sex scenes were unecessary.

[@marvelboi3416]

I truly admire and love George Miller work and I think this film is going to amazed some people. The cool thing about this movie is the film stars Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton are truly the best of friends in real life and they always want to do a project with one another. So George made this project happen for them to work with each other. And I know the chemistry between their characters two is going to be extraordinary!

[@theprowler18]

That's what the film does ultimately so well. The relationship they build, form, and solidify by the end is truly natural and surprisingly lovely in a very introspective matter.

[@ReviewJunkee]

I can't wait to see this tomorrow. The theater was insanely packed because of the $3.00 deal so I'll happily wait till Sunday or Monday.

[@okeyakono5087]

Don't let this review put you off, I strongly suggest you see it and judge it yourself. It appeals to people differently, I loved it.

[@johnpoffenbarger5103]

So you're telling me most of this movie is told in flashbacks? What an odd decision. Hey congrats on getting to 125k subscribers btw Austin. Keep crushing it.

[@marcusalbert9816]

Have a great weekend A B...thanks for all your content 💪👍

[@AustinBurke]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@RankingTheMouse]

Great actors, poor writing/directing? A common trend for films this month, unfortunately

[@Filmzy154]

Going to see this tomorrow and I’m pretty excited for it

[@georgesebele7946]

I was totally enthralled. Never bored. The CG was a bit dodgy but they already had me it. I was expecting the romance though. 7.5/10

[@nicelyfaithful]

Some of the best visuals i've seen this year, I love Elba and Swinton, but the narrative took me completely out. Its like they wanted you to leave with something thought provoking, but I didn't leave with anything but queso on my shirt. 5/10

[@nelsonthedestroyer5262]

Man I ended up enjoying this one alot if I’m being honest. But I definitely see what you are saying.

[@previewreview2364]

I'll be honest, I also wasn't on board with this one either. I appreciated the visuals and performances, but the story never came together in an investing way that I was able to latch onto. I personally gave it a 2.25/5. Great review as always!

[@AndresGarciaJr]

I give this movie a big fat F and a 0/5, there were many scenes that were pointless and others that were just boring and the needing was just soooo bad, I did not feel that chemistry you speak of, in fact it was awkward this movie was bad. I left the movie being angry. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY OR TIME NOT WORTH IT. great review though I know you was trying hard to get some good things out of this movie. God bless.

[@BlackSoul155]

The stories that Idris told were the best part of the film for me. I spent too much time trying to figure out what it was supposed to be about instead of immersing myself in the storytelling. By the end I realized it's about how our growing relationship with technology has pushed us away from the need for storytelling. In comparison the third act with their relationship fealt odd to mean. Even though I understand she fell in love with him for his storytelling it just comes off kinda forced. Also got lost at some points due to not having subtitles for the non-English parts. Probably going to give it another watch. I liked it enough, but I didn't get to just enjoy it for what it is. 6/10

[@frankenviews4069]

It's a story about stories. The magic and science of stories. Lots of mini stories being told in the big one. All movies were once just scripts and so every once in a while, writers make one of these movies that celebrate stories as an art form.

[@Pupeyes]

Idris Elba should be Panthro in a Thundercats movie. Someone needs to make that already 😞

[@noahh9472]

The visuals where fantastic but by the first wish it was done i wouldn't watch it everyday the actors did very good but the script and story needed serious revision dialouge was limited

[@kanishksharma326]

Austin plz review DELHI CRIME S2 released on netflix today…u already reviewed S1

[@ajmalaika1287]

Honestly sounds like a great animated series, one and done season

[@adeadpoet4221]

This movie was a straight up 9/10 for me

[@mattyboyb523]

Was really looking forward to this movie and now I’m not so sure we’ll even go

[@benjaminpastrana9662]

Loved it!

[@linedwell]

Austin starting to rock the "1930s Leading Man" look... It works.. 😜

[@AustinBurke]

Hehehe

[@okeyakono5087]

Well I have to say I disagree you on this one. The film was a masterpiece, not for everyone I guess. I loved it and will watch again this weekend.

[@vinitchaudhari1154]

Austin season 2 of "Delhi Crime" is out. You might wanna checkout that.

[@dylancogdell5233]

I deciding between this and invitation tonight. I’ve seen everything else out. They both are getting bad reviews but I got regal unlimited so I don’t mind.

[@RyanABXY]

I missed the Invitation by 15 minutes so I went to this instead and actually was late to it, didn't show up until they were in the elevator before the seminar thing. I feel like I didn't miss anything. I too have regal unlimited and I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this

[@brianng8350]

I see this like Sandman - a bunch of stories from different places and times strung together. But Sandman probably has more interesting characters.

[@milestrombley1466]

I Dreamed of Idris Elba.

[@UC4AQUgrQ9EwVIGoF0w7xHXg]

How was it

[@nadareyene]

i thought it was an amazing watch and really visually beautiful but i definitely think something was missing

[@mimok2903]

I mean as u said the story telling took away a lot from the movie and I didn’t understand the point of it ! Maybe it was the Queen of Sheba question of women truly desire ? Was it love ? But then as the movie goes on the wishes changes from knowledge to then the last one no wishes ! Then we go back that what a women truly desire is love

[@el-sig2249]

I don't remember the last time I was so bored out of my brains with a fantasy or love story. I didn't feel the chemistry you're talking about.

[@Iampauljoseph]

😍😍

[@Milton2k]

8/10 For me... a 4 seems quite harsh IMO.

[@Milton2k]

I liked the film... for its supernatural romanticism.

[@sarathbabu1245]

Review Season 2 of Delhi Crime Austin!

[@AustinBurke]

If I wasn’t on vacation I would!! Haha

[@luketan2237]

Nice review Austin! I wasn't like overexcited about this movie but definitely was very interested as it's from the director of Mad Max Fury Road. The trailer looked insane and I knew it would be one of those movies that would be probably either hit or miss but unfortunately most people like you seem to agree it's a miss. That must really be very disappointing as his previous movie is one of the best action films of all time!

[@JoeJoeJoe25]

My biggest problem with this movie, is that they proudly promoted the character as a narratorian, but as heavy dialogue this movie was, they did the narrative so poorly

[@Milton2k]

Based on a short story... Her character development was a bit lacking. My only complain...

[@Milton2k]

Yes... CGI was all over the place... From great to unfinished.

[@davidtengs801]

grate movie

[@mrcrhartman]

Modern people will find this film silly because it is about putting great effort into achieving actual love, which has become regarded as a nonexistent lie, at most a feigned politeness between intimate partners in modern thinking.

[@Hello-dg5vn]

Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has fantastic day! Amen,.,.,

[@AhmadAneeq]

you mean this movie was a better version of the live action aladdin?

[@AustinBurke]

Worse 🥹

[@jothishprabu8]

Just because you're a big shot director doesn't mean you can do whatever you like. Producers need to know this !!!!

[@royalbloodedledgend]

This film should go in the “interracial” genre

[@theaidadmin]

I hated this movie, I just watched it last night and I left thinking I was having a stroke. The minute I saw like i 450 pound women completely naked I just gave up

[@joshmargolis1424]

Damn movies about depressed writers searching for love. Rarely have i felt myself in a movie as much as this one

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

The movie looks like all flash and no substance to me so I may skip it.

[@storywala88]

Bummer. Well put.

[@ejrwm]

Don’t trust his review folks. Look at his background setup. That should tell you a lot about his reviews!

[@AustinBurke]

You don’t even have a profile picture. How can they trust your review of my review?

[@georgejamesducas9602]

i was sleeping with the jin;; he slept and i slept, a perfect movie for insomniacs; i slept through covid, and when i got up, i slept again with the jin. everyone in the film has a bathrobe. this movie could have been made on a million. the story is much too serious , and the so called stories have nothing to do with the story; this is the clue its time to sleep. this movie should be provided for free for anyone with trying to sleep. deep, is it? want to watch a movie abput being alone, the masterpice would be steve martins lonely guy. everytime. so whats in the story, its hard to figure since most of the movie is about other stories told by people in bathrobes.

[@embershen364]

I’m so bored while watching this and also grossed out

[@el-sig2249]

Same here. And I don't see the chemistry that he talked about. I actually dozed off.

[@wildcard2741]

Watched it once and I'm ok with never watching it again! After the first wish it completely falls apart and never recovers again. The ending is so unfinished, it might even need a sequel just to actually end it 🤦 2/10

[@Anthonycheesman33]

The trailer’s looked pretty bad lol.

[@gagalover2k10]

Yeah I remember being really intrigued at first then it just quickly descended into stupidity and I just 😑

[@dmont40]

This guy, this channel 😂😂😂 what a joke

[@AustinBurke]

Tell me why though. Don’t just leave empty statements without anything to back them up. Because you disagree with me?

[@gagalover2k10]

Yet another disappointment from Hollywood. It’s getting beyond the joke at this point.

[@biguy617]

This movie is so boring and so disappointing
