There are mysterious space rectangles, being all mysterious.

It's very flawed, but what's good is too good to say it's anything less than a great movie.

Possible spoiler alert:

Before I read this book in high school, I'd heard great things about it. The book didn't excite me- I'm more a fantasy person than sci-fi, and, though I guess he's asking all manner of deep and important questions (where did we come from, what will we evolve into, what happens when artificial intelligence evolves, etc.?) I didn't connect to the story, so I didn't care. The movie I liked even less- all that classical music while he floats around- bleh! This one definitely didn't do it for me. ( )
