Very Engaging!

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2014)

"The Theory of Everything" tells the story of physicist Stephen Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne. The movie covers the love story of Hawking and literature student Jane Wilde, played by Felicity Jones, coinciding with Hawking rise to prominence, for his scientific theories to the world's birth. The movie portrays Hawking's changing of views on the subject, coinciding with his diagnosis of motor neuron disease related to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis lateral sclerosis (ALS), a condition that has progressed over the years, and it effects on his marriage to Wilde. Redmayne gives a great performance, as does Wilde – Oscar nominations are likely to come. Overall, the movie does keep you very engaged. It's not a perfect 10 – Perhaps at the start, you could get a little bit more incite into how Hawking came to be interested in his field of study. The protagonists romance is charming at the start, andthe movie is effective in keeping you engaged as the story progresses. 3 ¼ out of 4 Stars.
