this was pretty good, or at least I felt like I got 7 bucks worth of entertainment @ matinee pricing . Unfortunately it involved time-travel, which never really makes sense but the visuals were good and they explored some principles of physics that I don't think anyone has ever tried to portray in a movie before all at one time. Einsteins theory of relativity, black holes, event horizons, gravity wells of stars, etc.
I guess my one gripe other than the time-travel bit is they probably tried to tackle too much story line, even in a movie that is well over 3 hours long. Still a good one to catch at a decent commercial theater on a cold snowy day.

When I saw it all I could think of was that the brightness was too high killing the blacks. Pretty good flick all in all though. I really enjoyed the audio.

I took my sons and two of their friends down to see it on the IMAX in Denver. Good flick, but not really worth $100 in tickets and a couple of hours of driving through a snowstorm. Very Happy

I was impressed that they ... wait, no I shouldn't talk about that part, it's a spoiler. For those who have seen it, the key part at the end. Don't think any movie has ever tried to convey that concept? They did a pretty good job of it.

funny, our blacks were fine but the volume was way too high, myu 10 year old kept covering his ears.

never mind the snow storm, you spent 100 bucks on tickets and 40 of it wasn't even family , wow Wink

I really think ending a movie or story is the hardest part of any writers job, but they did ok on this one.
