Sad to say, the movie was, in my opinion, awful. I had a feeling this might be the case, given all the hype and the few teaser trailers I had seen. But, being ever hopeful and a fan of classic scifi and taking the epic length to signal a possible epic movie on the order of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I went. Mistake. All the characters are stock, the dialogue is uninspired and at times embarrassing, the special effects are only par for the course, and the plot is absurd beyond belief. How physicist Kip Thorne could have permitted his name to be associated with this production is itself beyond belief. And aside from countless hat-tips to 2001, the movie relied on cinematic intimations of a host of awful scifi predecessors, such as the original Tron and Disney's Black Hole. Do not waste your money and especially time (no matter how many dimensions you have!) on this disappointing film.
