Not the overly scientific movie you might expect.

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2015)

I have to admit I was solely interested in watching the movie because of my interest in Mr. Hawking's work. In that way I was disappointed: romance is the main subject in the movie and the work has been simplified a lot more than I had hoped.
That being said, the romantic side of the story and Stephen Hawking's life hit me harder than I thought. The story accompanied with Eddie Redmaynes, in my opinion, magnificent acting made me really like the movie and I am sure it will in a way please a lot of others as well.
Don't be discouraged if you wanted a movie solely about his work, chances are you will be pleasantly surprised with the actual movie. People who didn't want to see it out of fear of hard science thrown at them: I hope you watch it, it's worth it.
