Falls apart after the first act.

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2014)

The first third of this movie is absolutely captivating and has such potential. The foundation is there for an epic sci-fi masterpiece. The score is overwhelmingly good and it's shot really well with some beautiful visuals. I hate that those brilliant successes are wasted on the plot and character failings that come rapid fire in the second and third acts.
It becomes laughable, falling flat on its face as it takes itself far too seriously and tries to do far too much. Those two "eurekas" yelled at the end are a travesty. Just, so bad.
TARS and CASE are by far the most engaging characters in the movie, and they're robots.
It suffers from over exposition, audience hand holding, emotional ramblings that leave you wishing for characters to die so they'll just shut up already, and cramming its nonsense plot devices down the viewer's throat over and over again in scenes that are three times longer than they need to be, much like this sentence.
