thanks for mixing Science with Fiction

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2015)

I have read a lot of reviews about this movie. Yes, there are plot holes, but think about all the other movies we get these days and you cannot possibly say that this wasn't a huge, huge step forward.
There are not many SF films any more, these days they are action packed movies in a futuristic environment. What made SF for me when I was young was the stretching of my mind, the endless possibilities and last but not least the feeling of how awesome it would be if it would really happen.
And when they launched the spaceship, when the main character was talking about exploration, I felt like a kid again.
If you compare this movie with reality as we perceive it now, if you look eagerly for every little plot hole to point out that the movie is not as accurate as it seems to proclaim, yes, it will fail for you. At the same time you watch the horrendous depiction of physics in movies like Fast & Furious 29 and feel entertained.
I for myself decided to be a bit more forgiving. The masses seem not to be ready for highly complex SF films. A "dumb" character is needed these days in all flicks to explain even the most simple twists. The overwhelming majority is more interested in Superstars than in Physics. And in these times I am more than grateful for a movie like this.
It was not only entertaining, it was thought provoking and it was beautifully photographed. The movie could have been way worse and I still would rate it 10 stars.
Thank you very much for this movie and please make more films like this.
