Ratings and reviews

I watched this movie when it first came out how many years ago, and just watching the trailer tonight has again re-invoked in me the exact same amount of excitement I'd first experienced watching it in the theater, remembering every little bit of it that was at all lovable and pleasurable to me. Its plot, it's moving, it's just everything. I love the development and production of it all. The way things worked and worked out was incredible. Best fiction ever. 10-out-of-10, obvious 5-star review

Wow, okay, it's kinda good and if I'm not focused enough, I don't think I could understand the movie completely. I can't give complete 5 as I almost left it in the middle because of how slow the plot is

Hace años no apreciaba cine en el que hubiera tanto cuidado por la trama y los roles de los personajes. Aunque parte de la premisa requiere suspensión de la incredulidad (grupos enteros intentando atacar a seres capaces de viaje espacial, de producir naves incomprensibles y controlar la gravedad a voluntad) la historia sirve para ilustrar la estupidez de las sociedades humanas, los problemas derivados del conformismo, la falta de curiosidad analítica y las posibilidades que se abren cuando una persona se separa del rebaño y se empeña en algo. Hablando de estupidez humana, los comentarios que califican mal la película.
