Malick may be primarily a painter, but PTA is much more. PTA tells incredible stories and develops unforgettable characters; he has proven this time and again. The two are not even comparable IMO.

Fair point. I would agree that PTA is better than Malick at telling a story, but I would stop before saying he is a great storyteller. He has great characters in his films, but his editing choices often make the movie feel disjointed. The Master, I think, is a prime example of this. I don't think he knew how he wanted to finish it, so he jumped to a time in the future and just ended it.
