A well made sci-fi despite weak script

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2017)

Sure the script hasn't got the best substance, but the execution is near perfect from the perspective of a science fiction enthusiast. The writer took a page out of a space lover's dreams catalog and carved out a pretty simple love story. Scientific inaccuracies can be easily ignored thanks to its breathtaking visuals, for which the movie rightly finds an academy award nomination and quite a few wins in production/set design. Both the key protagonists did a fine job portraying various emotions. In short, a pretty decent one-time watch!
