--I can see the comparisons to 2001 and 2010 but the whole black hole/worm hole/time travel angle makes it a different beast. I'm still trying to digest all the plot points the movie touched in relation to the core story though... IMO, its a sci fi movie worth checking out.

I thought it was decent, but nothing special. There were a number of positives, but I really did not like the way everything was resolved. One big positive is that its extended length makes it a better bargain.

And did you have problems hearing some of the dialogue when either the score or background noise would swell? That seems to be a common complaint and was definitely something I (along with the two people I watched it with) experienced.

My audio was fine... I didn't really notice any washouts.

By the resolve, if you mean about the last 30m of the movie.... I thought it was way too much being revealed in a short time span that related to core points of the movie.

My audio was fine as well. I thought it was an entertaining movie, that definitely didn't seem as long as it was. To me it was probably an 8/10 and a smidge better than Inception. I really didn't think any of the scenes were superfluous and I would probably be willing to see it again.

Looking forward to Hunger Games. Both movies have been very good and I expect this movie to continue that streak. Sure the themes are a little blunt and some of the characters are archetypal, but that doesn't stop the movies and books from being entertaining. So while the books have nothing on Harry Potter, the movies are the reverse.

Also watched Edge of Tomorrow and found it to be very good. The plot was tight and well constructed to the point where everything seemed plausible. My one gripe was the rather weak ending. I found that it didn't make much sense, and it definitely ended a very good movie on a slightly sour note. but all in all I'd recommend it
