Janina V. @eurobrat 2d It had a message that explained life. See more zio A @RT81393859 2d Stop comparing this movie to Cloud Atlas, they are substantially different. It compares more closely, if a comparison is necessary, to The Tree Or Life by Terrence Malick or 2001 by Kubrick -in the latter case with all the due proportions, of course-. This movie talks about that strange desire, unseen by the human eye, that drives us all to carry on despite the sempiternal struggle of being mortal. It explains this by describing 3 groups of humans ranging from -45000, +2040, +2400 therefore with different technologies and points of view about life/death/eternity, surprisingly being all accomunated by being humans. The thin red string is represented by am acorn. The focal point of the movie is that someone or something is calling them, but in this case it's not a monolith and no sovrannatural force, it's just how humans work. This movie explains how humans work.

What Worked: Birkeland’s cinematography and Newman’s score create a stunning landscape. Jones brings a grounded gravity that perfectly balances the massive scale. Seeing characters search for meaning across 47,000 years was profound. It is a beautiful reminder of the eternal, divine thread connecting all our struggles in a much larger, God-ordained tapestry. The Cuts: Jumping between three eras meant the momentum totally stalled out; it was just spinning its wheels. Keeping it spoiler-free, McKinnon's hyper-serious astronaut role felt jarring, and her whole section really dragged for me. The film bites off way more than it can chew and just feels hollow rather than giving a satisfying payoff. Verdict: An ambitious but messy sci-fi epic. Watch for stunning visuals, skip if you want a tight, character-driven story.

See more kitty C @Kitty5754 Mar 30 This is a movie you watch and if you are listening you will feel the story. Ignore any negative reviews. I was completely captivated from the beginning and ended up with tears and a peaceful heart at the end. Life will out! It's about time and love and how we all are connected and creating the future. It's about even if we are in the future we were part of creating it. Please make more. Everyone can use this kind of love and hope. See more Monica M @RT85742081 Mar 29 The critics review it as it's a film for adults, completely missing that this is a movie for little grown children and teenagers, a sci-fi tale with many interesting details, showing as human hearts and reactions stay almost the same through millennia. I would have liked to be more clear - and for sure dramatic, to not skip the part of the story about human race destroying their own planet and having to send a spaceship with an almost immortal astronaut, a sentient AI and embryos to survive.
