Too much stuff slapped together

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2014)

This film was. Visually gorgeous, true to the science of theoretical physics and kept me interested for the entire three hours.
Having said that, when I studied science fiction writing as a teenager I was taught that science fiction cannot have more than one new idea per story. This film gave you a few curious glimpses into a future of diminished expectations without really explaining why or how it had happened. The plot line hinges on some interesting Einsteinian physics concepts that I suspect is over the heads of the average movie goer. The controversy over weather they are doing this to save humanity or individual humans suddenly appears near the end...out of nowhere.
This film was simply too much work.
