Stunning, truly exceptional.

I have been a science fiction fan for decades, I concur with one of the writers on here that this is THE film for a long time regarding science fiction. It's a long film, I cannot believe it is marked on IMDb as the same as Inception (for now) as this deals with something which to me is so within reach, exploring space and deep-space, whilst I concede we have "a bit of a way off" with exploring other dimensions. It is essentially an exciting film that tips the human race over the edge of what is about to come, including the nod to India's increasing economy regarding solar power. At around 3 hours long it held my attention, the story is fulfilling, the science whilst I am no astrophysicist, is absorbing the technology not too over the top, even the space suits don't look ridiculous. The special effects of certain things turn out to be a first. It does have some plot-holes, yes, but the whole film gels together for that "suspension of disbelief" which is what fiction is supposed to do. I was gripped, I felt involved, and I ran with the film and enjoyed it big time. My first niggle of the film was the mumbling of Cooper and poor Michael Cain seeming so old, after that my niggles disappeared though. As the film unfolded I fell into this film and was away, amongst stars, entwined in time, pulled along by gravity, wanted to solve astrophysical equations and watch myself doing that from another dimension. By the way in a million years all glass produced today would have disintegrated, in 5 billion years our Sun will start to turn into a red giant. It will take another 5 billion years for our Sun to become a black dwarf. In one hundred trillion years only white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes will remain following the degeneration of the Universe and stars will die. Well this Universe anyway....
