    What a Bore

    Watched this today in physics class and the plot is droll. The writers tried to make it interesting but focusing on his assistants conflicts social but that makes it so much worse. They could have made this like that Steven hawking movie that would have been good but instead they made this attrocity. The acting was subpar. I wouldn't consider is educational either, one learns nothing from watching this.

    A Wonderful Show With An Excellent Performance By Karl Pruner

    While having a great deal of fun, this film provides the viewer with a delightful sense of what Isaac Newton was really all about in terms of his dedication and passion for science. A Wonderful show, nicely balanced to hold the attention of both the younger and older viewer.

    This show has a great deal of heart and a remarkable performance by Actor Karl Pruner.
