Best space movie since 2001

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

Over the last 40+ years we movie viewers have been entertained by fun but pretty inane space movies for the most part. Star Wars and Star Trek and all that. Decent entertainment but not much depth. And as for the science - left a lot to be desired.
Reading some of the reviews and some of the Q&A on the message board its clear to me that some viewers are going to get lost in the science. And make no mistake - this movie is chock full of scientific concepts and possibilities. We can thank the consulting by Kip Thorne and others for that.
The first time we are shown space travel, in the vacuum of space, with no sounds from the rockets or anything else - I knew this would be a special movie. I can't recall another movie other than 2001 thats been this daring (and I bet some viewers wondered where the rocket noise was!) and actually got something this basic right.
The thrill ride evolves from this simple start. An absolute masterpiece and a must see for any true sci-fi fan.
