Great Movie But Not Focused on Science

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2016)

Going into the movie I was expecting to look at a great piece of cinema as well as learn about the life of Stephen Hawking and his scientific ideas. I was quite disappointed in the lack of information presented. When there was scientific theories presented or the ideas of Hawking himself they were briefly covered and not in depth at all. I learned very little (and this is coming from someone who has about average education in the field) and was rather disappointed in this aspect. The acting in this movie was phenomenal. It was very, very good, and I was truly impressed. Personally, the cinematic quality is not nearly as important as the overall content, which I felt was lacking. I am not into a lot of romance movies and I can very easily see how someone would have a different opinion, but I wish that it had more scientific ideas attached to it.
