cinematography is great!

science is so-so. Some is good, some not so much. I won't spoil but the central premise of the movie has multiple bad science moments.

The acting is very good. The plot is...well, I had problems with it.

It's not horrible, but you don't come out thinking you've seen this grand story. It feels very small and insular. Again, not bad, and the imagery and acting do a lot to make the movie entertaining enough. But it's not a tour de force or anything in my opinion.

Then again, I have a high standard for these type of films.
