Pretentious

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2017)

Rather disappointed in that movie. As with many new Sci-fi, the viewer in drown in a sea of special effect to cover a poor story line. This movie is crafted in pure scientist hubris, and is a lengthy attempt at explaining how humanity would self explain itself. In front a the great mystery of the meaning and origin of life, some people seems unable to accept that a few things might transcend us and would rather explain everything by our future genius and awesomeness...
Because there is no limit to what we will be, right? It is like 2001 Space Odyssey: massively overrated. The intellectual dilemma of the story is whether humanity is to be seen as a collection of individuals, or as a species, and the answer seems to be that we would be maybe our creator and self little helpers. Humanity as a stepping ladder to itself, out of darkness and non existence. Rather sad...
