What is it with our directors that they fail to come with a SF movie being renewing,different,special. Nolan might be good for certain aspects but is copying from left and right ideas and puts them in a new movie which is supposed to have us reflect on our being human and respecting our planet. The wormhole equals the monolith of 2001. The binary messages equal the messages in Contact ( moreover with the same actor ). Some of the visuals equal scenes in Gravity...and so on and on. The movie is too long and too cheesy.If I compare this to 2001, 2001 will top it , compare it to Contact , Contact will top it , and even Gravity with a thin-line story will top it. No sorry despite the efforts put in this which I have to aknowledge it does not deliver the goods I want from a SF-movie. I sincerely hope that some day some director will have the guts to take on a Jack Vance novel , now that would be something different . So Steven Spielberg , what are you waiting for ?
