Excellent Movie. Must watch for scifi fans

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2014)

I've seen most scifi movies. This one is very easy to watch if you don't mind long movies. I didn't drift at all during the movie. The dialog was good. Some voice was lost a few moments behind the sound of the movie, but I got the general idea. The script was great IMO. The picture and effects were very well done. Classy but not over the top unbelievable. I liked the cast and enjoyed their performances. The movie was a bit metaphysical at some points but it wasn't beyond all belief. You do have to allow a minor bit of flexibility in your state of reality to truly enjoy this one. But that's what SciFi is all about. A bit of futuristic thinking is required. I watch this one with my 12yo son and he was transfixed all the way through. And very animated after the movie ended. We both enjoyed it. Reminded me a lot of the "Odyssey" movies. I've read a lot of the lesser reviews and I can say those reviewers seem rigid and inflexible and unforgiving of a lot of aspects in the movie that don't really stand out as flaws IMO. I highly recommend this one on the big screen or IMAX. I'm a scientist and didn't find any of the effects to ridiculous to imagine. Please watch. Don't be fooled by the Haters. There was no moment in the movie where I was disappointed. I love a long absorbing flick and this was one for the books.
