desperately dull wanna be classic

Rating: 3/10 (11 November 2016)

some reviewers have made references here to contact. well, dear readers, contact opened with a stunningly imagined & executed reverse voyage from deepest space into the retina of the star crossed lead. not one image or sequence in this plodding grey un-imaginative movie comes anywhere close to greatness. the expectant audience at last night's first showing in dublin yawned & fidgeted through the show, & some lucky ones voted with their feet. i, determined cineast that i am, stayed planted to the end, suffering & hoping til the credits roll. i cannot see this movie making money, nor more importantly , achieving classic status. a MAJOR disappointment.
