Bad science

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2015)

The story was heartwarming and that part was okay, but the science was ridiculous. The idea of using a wormhole to enter another universe was fine, but they played fast and furious with the science after that. Entering a black hole is very possible, if you get close enough, but the only thing inside is highly compressed matter. The time dilation was interesting, until they mentioned 1 hour on a planet would equal 7 years. Time dilation requires TRAVELING (close to the speed of light). They made it seem like stopping on the planet would somehow accelerate the process. Then they manage to enter a black hole, without getting squashed like every other particle of matter and find an alien window to the past that goes to the man's daughter's room, so he can send information that will show him how to get there and then save the world. He earlier told his daughter that you "cannot go back in time", which is true. Then the movie contradicts him and the laws of physics in every way possible. I find it troubling that this was so highly rated. I suppose if you don't consider the science, it is a great watch.
