    it was the 'i've been talking to god for seven years' fiery demon bloke who used to belong to the old crew that pushed it into the absolutely terrible realm for me.

    to paraphrase mr. para, if you're going to go the metaphysical route, you really can't afford to be sloppy. this wasn't harrowing, just hamfisted.

    that coupled with some dire overacting from the american cast and all the very lazy poaching of tropes from 2001 and E.H. really put me off.

    but, yes, the sun stuff was gorgeous and the spaceships were rad. i should've walked out right when that guy seizured - it was just before the suicide, and i think the film chose the wrong fork in the road after that point.
