Master Artwork. Could not have been done without the leads.

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2018)

This movie will make your Sci-Fi elders lose their mind. "Best Sci Fi Movie Ever" is what mine told my dad told me minutes into the credits when we finally caught our breath. It is not often a son gets to take his dad "blindfolded" into a Sci Fi film and see such satisfaction from a veteran Sci Fi reader and movie watcher.
I have never seen such a colourful blend of genres in my life. I've rarely ever been moved by the heartbreak genre. But in its few doses in this movie, Natalie Portman's performance is still making me choke up.
Her casting was absolutely necessary. Her character's military and professor history was very present and realistic in her character. Her chemistry with Oscar Isaac was flawless.
Jennifer Jason Leigh was jaw dropping. She was given a ridiculous challenge and made what would usually be cheesy- absolutely. annihilating. What a performance.
Oscar Isaac, wow.
What an experience. I've seen this film twice and counting this week.
