Is there anything more sanctimonious than a science guru with a terminal illness? I mean, if you’re going to go to all this trouble to invent your own new-agey blend of technology and religion, it just seems like it would take less effort to just go with a more traditional faith. Certainly the bullshit factor would be a great deal smaller. I was also disappointed with the acting; I doubt if anyone is going to regard this as the high point in his or her career. Even the effects were lackluster, comparing poorly even with decades-old 2001. Wish I’d skipped it
