I had several friends who saw this movie tell me it was beautiful but the plot fell short. With that in mind I didn't have high hopes for the story but wanted to see it in IMAX 3D for the visuals. After the show I have to say I was really immersed in the story despite my thoughts going into it. Yes, it is predictable but the science and thought that went into every aspect of this film are incredible. It's a must see for me but you need to see it in IMAX.
