It is hard to believe the clown who is about to suck up the joint with A Christmas Carol ever made a movie as good as this.

There may have been a time when I thought this movie was perfect – but I can’t deny that the music is overbearing, some of the effects at the end are a little lame (although most are still absolutely stunning,) James Woods’ performance is completely one-dimensional and, well, fundamentally, Matthew McConaughey is a problem. But. . . .put all that aside.

Can you believe this was a major Hollywood release? What balls! Audacity from top to bottom. And really fucking smart. (Although, if I may nitpick, why don’t they just stick someone else in the big ball & see if that person goes to a wormhole, too? Or is that covered and I missed it?)

When you are trying to make a movie about The Universe, you are bound to stumble. So eff me for pointing out the flaws. This is a great movie that makes me proud to be human. And the sound effects are awesome. And so is William Fichtner.

And so is Jodie Foster! She shoulda retired after this and ended on a perfect note.
