As good as the 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating would suggest?

I really liked it, it's more of a thinking man's alien-type movie.
A little slow moving, but well worth it.

It gets a bit nerdy at times (in a good way from my POV, maybe not so much other people), but it is a fantastic movie that everyone should see. Probably my favorite movie I've seen in theaters since The Revenant

I enjoyed it greatly, entertaining and profound would be the two words I would use to describe it. Amy Adams will get an Oscar nod for her role.

This movie has my attention like Star man did with Jeff Bridges.
A very good and under rated movie.

Dude...The Revenant is maybe the best theater movie I've ever seen. Is it really that good visually?

Maybe not as good visually as The Revenant (but really, what movie is?), but it is probably the best movie going experience I've had in a long time. Loved it.

Just got out. Definitely worth seeing in theatres. Great movie. Not exactly what I was expecting but in a really good way.

More of an artsy take on interstellar basically.

Imagine interstellar shot as an indie. More visuals and a little more meat on the bone

I agree that it drug in a few places, but they kept the pace pretty well.

As a film, I'd give it a 9/10. Don't go in expecting Independence Day or you'll be disappointed.

I think comparing them is apples and oranges, but I haven't left a theater that satisfied since I saw the Revenant so definitely check it out.

loved it. laid in bed thinking about it for a few hours last night when i got out.

9/10

thought the ending was a bit rushed and could have used a little bit more "why" but didnt take away from anything.

Agreed. I think it felt rushed because the rest of the movie was so deliberate and took it's time. In comparison a lot of shite went down quick

Really beautiful movie but I thought it was too clever by half in certain spots. Maybe I need to see it again.
