The movie begins, and flashes back to, Young Murph, played by Mackenzie Foy. Look at her picture.

Then the movie flips to many years later. There are now two major female characters. One is played by Jessica Chastain, the other by Anne Hathaway. Please look at their pictures.

Guess which one this movie uses as Older Murph? The one that looks like she could be Mackenzie's mother or older sister... or the one that looks so different, even down to skin quality, that she must be a thousandth cousin or something?

The movie producers could just as accurately cast Whoopie Goldberg for playing the part of Older Murph. That is something I couldn't get past.

-- As far as the movie itself... DON'T expect a typical outer-space movie. It is a thinking person's cerebral event, not a high action thriller. It's much more philosophical than action. When you go in knowing that, you find a great story.
