Worm Holes - Plot Holes

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2001)

Annoying. Over all I couldn't help liking this one alot. I like escapism - and wouldn't mind escaping to the Vega system sometime....But there's a big but (and Im not just talking Jodie F here...). How can anyone suspend disbelief in the face of such a stupid and illogical ending? **Spoilers**
Point the first. So at the end - that's it is it ? You spend billions putting a potential portal across the universe, and you run it just the once ? Plllllease! Given that there was at least some promising feedback from the first person to attempt, I think you'd probably bother to try it again with someone else to corroborate, wouldn;t you ?
Point the second. The first time you run it - (and when you know that time is going to be a big factor here), are you telling me no one thinks to install some pretty sophisticated time measuring equipment inside the capsule (hey!, a watch would have done it folks...)?? (But heck - they remembered to put in a chair, so that's okay isn't it..)
Point the third. Wouldn't someone as smart as JF's character is meant to be a) think of taking some sand back with her from Vega or b) think about the length of video static recorded. I'd have been pretty desperate to think of something that proved my story myself...
I do so hate this sort of thing - but it's particularly irritating in a movie about science. I've not read the book - perhaps someone can tell me if this has the same holes in it. Probably not.
