Review by Simply-Red

I could not wait to watch this move based on the reviews. So many are like, "this is the best movie I have ever seen in my life". I got dinner ready early so we could start this long-arsed movie and stay awake for it. I was so stoked.

Then it began. Right off the bat it began to have so many unfinished and unexplained things, and I mean things that were just left behind, not explained in what admittedly is a full circle story in the end. Then this continued through the entire movie, until the end, which does answer a big question, but in the most ridiculous way.

I'm good at suspending reality for a movie and I dont expect fictional movies to be accurate, but this move could have been easily an hour shorter and would have probably been better. A laborious watch for little return in the end in my opinion. I dont even read books anymore, but this would make for a really good book (if its not already), that way the imagination could take it over...the reality of the flick is generally unimpressive in my opinion. I dont see how the visuals, etc. Are so impressive for so many people. It was reminiscent of 2001, a Space Odyssey. There have been better "space flicks" in my opinion.

I cannot fathom the fawning people have done over this flick. I only gave it 5 stars because of the cast, not because I enjoyed the movie. The two hours and 50 minutes was otherwise not worth it for me.
