    Great vibe, fantastic visuals, unbelievably corny, packed with pretend science, naiive dialogue, and splattered with speeches repeating ad nauseum the words "mankind" and "humanity".

    I can take the sailing the cosmos of cheese part, but what wasted this film on me, was how stupid it was.

    The girl saw a gravitational phenomenon displaying stripes... let's interpret them in binary and... hell, why don't we assume those are coordinates. How did you come up with this, genius? And... ok, how did you know which ones were zeroes and which were ones, huh?
    How convenient the place was only a short ride away...

    Cool robot sidekicks in the most impractical shape imaginable, funnier than Jar-Jar? Sign me up!

    "How did you get here? It's the most restricted area on the planet! And hey, wanna fly into space as the captain for the most important mission in history? We were gonna call you, but didn't... glad you popped in, actually."

    A mission pilot who after two years needs an explanation what a wormhole is with a sheet of paper and a pen, but then uses a black hole as a gravitational swing to pick up some speed (and a hundred years) like he's done it a hundred times?

    Then he falls into a black hole without being shredded to pieces, let alone losing consciousness?

    Besides...

    • to be fair no one has any fucking idea what would happen in a black hole.set
    • They do. The gravity would tear you apart long before you'd reach the hole itself.raf
    • They really don'tset
    • They don't know what's inside, but they know the gravity around is a killer. They're detected by the enormous gravity.raf

    • I mean the speed you enter the blackhole will determine your survival or not.Morning_star
    • REMINDER: Films are made for learned astrophysicists who already know all of this stuff. It's for the masses that want to be entertained for a couple of hours.toemaas
    • entertained. The close to 11 million people who have seen it up to this point don't know 2 squirts of piss about astrophysics and need to be explained by characters in the storytoemaas
    • and need to be explained through characters and story. Not being ripped apart drives the story.toemaas
    • Wormhole could be explained with paper and pen to a civilian or a kid without the need to make the movie stupid.raf
    • <---- These are word-by-word my thoughts about the movie.Fatal
    • You're a lot of fun. I can tell.BrokenHD
