I watched this movie with my father who happens to be an ophthalmologist. He discovered a few bugs here and there, but he also found nice references. Anyways, this is my opinion. I really loved the aesthetic filming and the suitable setting. The ways the mood of the movie changed after "plot points" were interesting to watch. The love scenes were also dazzling and delicate. Each of them was unique, and real at the same time. The contrast between Ian and Sofi's "beliefs" was very intriguing. There were some nice punchlines and metaphors, but at the same time, some of them were rather vague and/or cliché. (I'm not gonna complain because this whole issue is pretty vague!) Overall, I dig the dialogues! You could easily identify the character archetypes. But at the same time, the way each incident, discovery, and phenomenon helped each person's development was tangible and amusing. Sofi's death for example. And the way it impacted Ian's life. It was a huge turning point. The "lab day" was the day that Ian "won" and "lost". In my opinion, the finest aspect about this movie was the state of turmoil and bewilderment. It was thoroughly implemented in the film. So many people disliked the movie because of the controversial closure. I believe that you shouldn't watch this movie looking for an "epic plot twist" or for your "beliefs" to be approved. The point about this movie is not the ending or the "conclusion". There will never be an answer. That's why I was low-key disappointed with how spirituality hit the final strike. But honestly, I couldn't really think of a better ending, since "religion and spirituality" wasn't even utterly approved. I believe that this film was about the thought-process of the characters and their pragmatic and tangible feelings, thoughts, and reactions. Note that evolution was approved and so was spirituality.My favorite scenes were Sofi's passing AND the final elevator scene! Salomina was afraid of elevators. MANNote: There's a scene after the credits! WATCH IT! I LOVED IT!

I don't like "arty farty" films at all.I agree there are some bizarre scenes but the unique plot makes this film one of my favourites.Do not give this film a miss due to some bad reviews. I think it is brilliant!

This movie is so boring and pretentious. The worst is Pitt's interpretation, so arrogant and obnoxious. He should remember himself that he started in Dawson's Creek, perhaps his interpretations would be more humble. And this goddamn cliché that the men are the rational ones, women are just crazy little creatures, oh man, this is so bad.

I rarely write reviews here, but as a fan of science fiction, I am compelled to warn potential viewers about this movie. In the first half of the movie I was able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride, but eventually the movie became "spiritual". This not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not handled well at all here. I expect that any true science fiction fan will also be sorely disappointed, but those who need their religious views supported will probably find the movie enjoyable.
