Good, super-good, but could have been brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2017)

I write sci-fi fantasy, for me this story had a lot to do with fantasy, but there were important parts that, in my opinion, were skipped over, how the deciphering of the circles was explained. Who was Hannah's father. In the future we are led to believe it will be/is Ian. I have nothing but praise for the actors who did their jobs well, they are, after all, only human. I understand about the linear time theme. For me, in some cases, as a writer of sci-fi, time is, always was, always will be, everything is happening (not happened) in the same nano-second. Get your head round that if you can. I found a couple of characters unnecessary, unproductive. It seems in the making of this film, a lot was left to 'use your imagination'. I needed to stretch mine quite a bit, and had to accept the 'sudden understanding' of deciphering the alien language, but the Abbot and Costello bit was lost on me. I felt the film was made in a hurry but the director took his time doing so. Could I have done better? With the same resources, yes. It would have been longer though.
