Meh

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2016)

Redmayne needs to learn not to mumble into his chin, for Chrissake! Editor needs to learn not to push NOISE over actor's speech! Then, one MAY be able to follow the dialogue. I wish I had more to say but, truly, the movie itself is OK, it's the incessant hunt for the Redmayne's trailing voice that drains the viewer. On top of that, it's either the editor or the cinema engineer that needs to learn how to crank the light where it needs to be for a 3D experience. One or both forgot that and the movie, for me, was dull as if dipped into liquid drab, washed out and dull. Definitely NOT what I planned to give my money for, including the previous complaint about the sound. Story is on its own merit OK, but it had trouble staying desirable and entertaining after actors, lighting, editing took their toll.
