I would say a philosophical movie, not a SF one

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2015)

First and foremost, I have to say the premise of the movie is really a philosophical one disguised as a science-fiction one, as far as I'm concerned.
Secondly, I don't really care about the absolute groundwork of physics in movies, because that's not the important part - so I basically ignore any "problems" with the scientific part that some people are so obsessed (and wrongly so, from my perspective) - about.
But going back to the premise of the movie, which is that some things transcend the confinements of the 4-dimensional reality - THAT is what I really enjoyed.
In fact, such concepts have been pretty successfully grasped for quite some time, and are not exactly science-fiction. One example is the Kaluza-Klein theory.
The conclusion? I have to say that even during watching the movie I've had quite a few personal epiphanies that will remain personal. Nothing to change my mind, just additional fuel to confirm what I've been knowing for quite some time, and with each additional evidence and with each additional piece, the more I'm certain that what I believe is correct. Thing is, I didn't need any of this, but it is refreshing to see that the movie creators feel the same.
The point of the movie is not about science, is not about technology, is not about space, is not about even philosophy itself. The point of the movie is about realizing what is important in YOUR life. I know this seems like stretching a movie for the sake of personal connectivity with it, but I really believe the point of the movie is to make you understand what is important in your life and how sometimes what feels hopeless is doable, is possible, and can be made.
It might look impossible, it might be complex, it might be difficult, it might take a long time - but assuming you don't give up on it and assuming it's really important to you - maybe that thing does indeed transcend the normal dimensions of space and time not because it's supernatural, but because some things are really underestimated, like the power of love.
I'll let you think about what that something is for YOU, anybody who reads this.
