A step upward from most Sci-Fi movies

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2016)

While this genre is generally not my thing this movie is a step upward. Golden Globe winner, Academy Award Nominee Amy Adams is the reason; an actress who elevates everything she is associated with. On a purely visually level the 2 hour movie is dark and pops of color are rare which is clearly for a reason. No doubt it will provide more questions than answers and it appears to be why it was made. This movie could provide a much needed anthem for the world. The themes of humanity (good & not so great), language, death, science, compassion, love and memory are explored. Most people will only recognize two other actors; Jeremy Renner and Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker.
