This was an amazing piece of art that was also so truly romantic. While I understand it will not appeal to much of the audience who is looking for meaningless violence and bullets flying everywhere this movie has an incredibly deep touch of the human mind and soul, looking within ourselves and trying to define concepts that transcend time and distance all wrapped up in a space opera rendered in extraordinary colors.
I went into the theater with my girlfriend at my request and she was ready for a good nap while I was ready for yet another star wars like disappointment. And boy was I wrong... I was so surprised to see this type of movie that goes into the rich and amazing ideas of old giant sci-fi writers such as Stanislav Lem or Asimov. It all reminded me of a very old book from my childhood called "Magellanic cloud" by Stanislav Lem.
I have been connected with this movie on so many levels as this story depicts the human soul in all its loneliness, craving for companionship in the vast empty void of space. While the main story line is somehow predictable and not much is happening action-wise the true magic of the movie happens in the background, provided that your soul is sensible enough to cope with the very subtle nuances that question our very own existence.
The concepts unraveled here are so vast and deep that you simply end up thinking about it all days after you saw it. And this really is something in a day where most movies don't even require you to think but just to consume the provided content.
It more than exceeded my expectations and it's a solid 10 for me, absolutely no hesitations.
