It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

My score: 7/10. Interstellar brought in a new sub-genre of sci-fi we can call "oddity." "I Origins" fits into that category I think because there is a whole lot of oddity going on here. Most of it is interesting and intriguing but there are times I have to admit the details were lost on me.The director gave us "Another Earth" which is also a sort of dreamy sci-fi netherworld. I don't think all things in his films are meant to be understood but rather felt. Retina photos are like fingerprints which allow a scientist to identify people anywhere in the world. That, in fact, is where this film takes him as he studies and makes conclusions based on people's eyes.I thought things were jumping around in time but discovered there is only some of that going on. This film will require your full concentration to get what is happening. At the same time, if you open yourself up to the film, I think you will be pleased with it and its final result. Because it will not appeal to traditional audiences who prefer more simple answers, it loses a couple of points. Still, I did enjoy it but understand it does require your full attention until the end. 7/10.

Film lures you in early with some scientific sleight-of-hand and then reveals the true agenda of writer/director-A weak attempt to bash science in its entirety without any real critique on the complexities of the subject. Another insecure spiritualist who feels like science doesn't acknowledge their feelings enough. In the context of the recent upsurge in climate-change denyers and anti-vaxxers, I actually found this film offensive.

admittedly not my favorite movie genre, I have long been a fan & sci/fi is high on my second tier much of my affection comes from the setting, having worked for two years at MSKCC just opposite Rockefeller University where much of this was set all the leads were commendable, the story plausible, direction tight & with at least one well done gory scene (not gratuitous,) all the more effective for its surprise the diverse venues (NYC, East Coast & Near Eastern Asia) are lovingly filmed with strong production values I love the New Age sensibility, though I can understand why some may not this science is REAL folks, though some may question some of it speculation is what science is all about, don't you know? I Origins is a romantic, feel good sci/fi flick, though not long on thrills, replete with wonderful venues well worth a viewing, cuddling with someone you love¿what more can you want on a Saturday night?
