From beautiful, sad and serene to Thrilling

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2014)

First of all, I'd like to point out that my opinion may be biased because of my amateurish fascination of astrophysics. After all, this is the only movie I've ever rated a 10/10. That being said, I can't think of ANY sci-fi movie I enjoyed more than this one. It had everything I looked for, and despite that the script isn't always perfect, it's easily forgiven when considering other factors. The score is very fitting, melodic and epic and sometimes intense, the acting is well performed, the plot is exciting and makes the time fly by at great speed (pun intended, if you wish). The mix of actual science and effort of providing a legitimate picture of our current understanding, combined with the very fictional elements (don't take this movie for a documentary) proves to be a well working and believable combination.
Watching this movie, I had to hold back tears, I laughed and I sat on the edge of my seat during the more intense moments. Sometimes I just sat in awe, watching the wondrous depictions of our amazing, unfathomable and weird universe. What more, the movie did a great job of making me empathize with the characters and their future.
I don't want to give away any of the plot, but let me just summarize: it's the perfect sci-fi experience. Grandiouse, thrilling and beautiful.
