A brilliant watch

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2015)

Speaking as someone who has an interest in science but is by no means an expert, I went into watching this film with an open mind and with minimal expectations. I had read a synopsis before watching and didn't have massive hopes, however I am pleased to say I was thoroughly impressed. I'm not claiming that this will go down as an all-time great necessarily but I would recommend this film to anyone without hesitation. For a serious sci-fi film, I was impressed with the subtle attempts at humour that managed to make me laugh without detracting from the intended nature of the film and I was genuinely gripped from the off. You can become attached to the characters and it is a fairly well built up story line. Obviously I can't comment on the scientific accuracy but I didn't see it as completely far fetched and it made for a great film.
