SciFi a la 2001 Space Odissey

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2015)

This is a fun to watch movie, but hey, top class scifi is a different thing! This is scifi for the non expert, there is no serious address to the scientific issues involved, everything is approached quite poetically, which is OK, but it lacks the true sharpness of scifi as it should be (Philip Dick, Isaac Asimov or more recent stuff like the wonderful "Edge of the day"). Leading actors deliver powerful performances, the story is engaging, but for me it lacks the true flavor of imagining the future or a parallel reality. Possibly this is why this was so popular with the crowds; if you are a scifi maniac you may even feel annoyed. For me was fun, but as many other movies, it did not look so special.
