Advertized as one of the greatest ever, yet this movie is recycling quite a mix of ideas from other movies incl. 2001, 2010 and somehow Prometheus. Clearly, the producer deserves credit for trying to combine all the features and for taking a shot at the concept of 5 dimensions and black holes. Also, the main character was convincing and special effects were great.
However, was the producer serious about the main figure ending up in a black hole and thanks to higher beings experiencing his daughter's 5-dimensional bed room, which allows to send scientific data on black holes through a wristwatch sitting on her book shelf? Really??? Also, perhaps I didn't get it, but with full access to time, why did he leave mixed signals incl. coordinates of the NASA area vs. 'STAY'?
Also great, for points on the political correctness scale, that daughter, as a woman in a modern Hollywood production of course is the Physician that in no time deciphers the data, completes the formulas and enables mankind to leave earth to live on full-fledged orbiting space stations a la Elysium. Big time happy end in 10 minutes!
Almost silly, the father is found floating somewhere in space after his black hole epiphany; because one hour for him was decades on earth allowing to develop technology? Right! Then he is taken to a space station incl. a museum replica of his home with 'no touch' signs all over, but for no reason the broken robot is stored right there. For him to repair because it's his buddy? Right! I could go on forever.
With high expectations, while watching the movie I got more and more disappointed, not to say insulted by several childish attempts to fix an unfix-able disconnection in the plot. It almost seemed as if a 5-year old mandated the producer to strike a story incl. gigantic Happy End from a list of random components at all cost and regardless as to how incompatible they are.
