I had great expectations of this movie but I was sadly disappointed. The constant screen jumps and changes from colour to black & white were completely disorienting and I soon lost the plot in trying to grasp who was who and why. I felt that I needed to have done some prior research on who the various scientists were as each was introduced to help me grasp what was going on.

At three hours long it really stated to grate with me after the first hour and by the end of the second I couldn't stop yawning with boredom, although I did manage to stick it out to the end I came away with a headache. I wished I'd spent three hours down the pub instead.

Despite an impressive cast this is a totally overrated movie, there are far better ones out there that are half as long and twice as enjoyable. But if you want to watch something to fall asleep to this is definitely the one to for you.
