A marvelous but a bit vague

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2015)

This is one of those movies that you fall in love with the moment the trailer comes out. You are eager for the local cinema to start selling tickets for it. You get the ticket and you wait with anticipation with the bucket of popcorn and the cup of soda in your seat. You enjoy patiently for the other trailers to pass by and then the movie hits you.
You are sitting in the chair throughout the whole movie, questioning if this is the future you will see in several years or if this is just another extravagant scenario of how Earth's life is ending.
The plot is well thought, but the viewer is left with many questions like "how the hell did they got there, why are they doing this or that?" etc.
Then the action moves around faster than an ordinary person would like to see in a good movie. And then the parallel development of the plot hits you. Paying attention and tracking the actions and the time-line starts to become a bit of a challenge. Mix that with the terminology and science facts (which are truly well thought) and you get one of those movies that keep you on the edge of the chair, thinking and having the "aha, I knew that" moments.
It's probably me, but I like when a movie challenges my understanding of real life and makes me think if this movie's plot is plausible or pure fiction.
The end leaves you with the satisfaction of figuring out some questioning moments during the movie, but still leaves some things to the viewer's imagination.
The fact that this movie is filmed especially for IMAX screens makes it worth seeing just for the experience and the astonishing effects, even if you don't enjoy the plot that much.
