Interesting.

Just read a review by a guy who gave it 2.5 stars out of 5. That is a 50%, not even a passing grade in junior college. I mean, I haven't seen this (yet) but I just can't believe Nolan would fire out a failed product, too much quality control involved with him. While this definitely won't win awards it appears, I think a lot of these critics are trying to make a name for themselves (I mean this critic got me to read his review, had he posted a positive review I probably would not have read it) and make a splash at the expense of Nolan who seems to be a top critic's easy prey.

I think the Nolan fanboys need to hop off his nuts before they actually see the movie ROFL

Most of the negative reviews I've read say it is visually beautiful, but too simple/unrealistic/unbelievable of a story. The simple part sounds silly.

I've read some that say the interpersonal stories are too simple and the science too complicated. Guess we'll see in a week.

Depends on how it's used.

Primer was almost boring to tears with all the tech talk but it was for a purpose.

And are we seriously asking the average movie goer to understand ****ing rocket science?

Really?...

It's not that hard.

Hopefully it is not as bad as Gravity. That was the worst critically acclaimed movie I've ever seen.

Yup. I can already see Dems/Reps complaining about how it's driving home the other side's message.

I really hope this flick reignites the public desire for space exploration...

Lol what?

Gravity was a great movie theater experience.

Just like the intro Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

A true game changer.
