A frustrated & obsessed scientist loses his job, but just can't let go of his project - the data & information transfer from Dark Matter/Energy which makes up 95% of the universe as we know it(all of the information of, & in, the Cosmos).
A lot of creative license is used, but I found the movie really enjoyable & the characters likeable (although his assistant was an arrogant spoiled brat that you really wanted to chastise in the most gratuitous fashion possible at times) which carried the story of the costs of obsession, the arrogance that can come with high intellect if it's not kept in check & the unforeseen consequences of causality when it's not.
It was also a warning of putting powerful new tech out into the world without proper R&D, without fully understanding it & the consequences of giving people more knowledge than they can understand (& how it can induce mental health issues & suicide in the wrong hands). Too late for the internet, mobile phones & social media in the real world, obviously!
A warning to all of the dangers of tech, AI & the abuse of technology. Don't lose your humanity people.
