I could not get past the one hour mark. After the first 10 minutes I paused and I checked the date to see if it matched, I wondered why the colours were so badly done and why the camera was so poorly handled and just why it was so grainy. After confirming that it was after the 1970's I went back to the movie and overcame that. But then I realized that the impression the first scene gave was spot on.

Stereotyping scientists, scientists who work for NASA are not this dull they have great lives. NASA is a collaborative effort if you don't have great social skills you will not fit in, nobody does anything on their own.

I am sorry but it is the directors DUTY to make the viewer sympathize or at least care for the protagonist as quickly as possible and starting with a "I am so smart" scene(which by the way was not at all cleverly executed, I would have had questions after his little speech because some of the points were cyclical) which is not fun and bland is no way to do this. If you are going to have a speech which is to sound "smart" from a guy in NASA you have to have some actual physics talk and some real precise science on what the plan is. I won't even talk about how predictable the plot is...

I am only giving 4 stars instead of 2-3 because I did not finish it, and it could be that the next two hours are the most epic hours in film cinema.
