Attempts to be smart but at the end falls on it's face

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2018)

This movie reminded me of a better one called "Contact" (1997) in all the good ways.
It starts fairly interesting with a speech about modern society and it's posture about science, information and our final toughts on what's pretty much the dawn of the planet. I also tought that the dust idea was smart and original, instead of using something like a political insurrection, zombies or a meteor strike. It was just as scary as it could be, slow, methodical and unescapable.
Then the actual movie starts.
It turns out there is a wormhole in deep space and NASA decides to send three actually competent people and a lady who has seen too many rom coms that somehow ended up working at NASA and sent out in a mission that decides the fate of mankind.
Maybe with the right choice-making or should I say a better writing, that could be interesting. Since we would need the sentimental side of mankind to build a new society right?
Well, this lady, a scientist, has the belief that love is the only power in the universe able to trascend time and space itself. A noble and poetic idea if you ask me, however, all the desitions the crew makes, revolve around not making this lady cry so then we can blame her and feel pity for her being wrong.
Right after that, holy goodnes effin' gracious, the lady was right, love DOES trascend space and time, and mankind is saved because the main lead loves his daughter and is able to send her a mathematical equation from another dimension.
I will give you a second and I want you to read that out loud, and then read again all those reviews that say "scientifically accurate"
Yeah, that's what I tought.
Is a pretty looking movie with some interesting messages that ultimately falls flat on it's premise due to a poor writing choice. Almost looks like it was an excetutive desition. Shame.
