High expectations lead to disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2014)

This was not a bad movie, but it's average at best, and certainly nothing like the 9/10 rating on here. Some scenes were nicely done and the acting was solid, but the movie was overly moody and melodramatic, with emotions often being *hammered* home with a screaming music score. The science seemed arbitrary, implausible, and sometimes laughable. They were able to travel through wormholes and put humans into long term hibernation, but they somehow couldn't manage blight-resistant crops. The launch vehicle silo at the secret NASA site appeared to be mixed in with cubicles and offices. The black hole science is so flawed that it isn't worth discussing. There were also too many big stars in this film. I started to wonder who was going to make a cameo appearance next. And finally, the who story line is a familiar time loop plot, albeit with additional dimensions thrown into the mix. The more I write, the lower I want to rate this movie. Reexamination is not recommended.
