I typically leave positive reviews so let's see I did enjoy the sets, props, camera movements, and the way things were visually set up. Color choices were nice, in the scenes that were not black and white. I don't mind black and white; I was born in the late eighties and was raised on many wonderful black and white tv shows. I appreciate when a movie feels different than what I've seen. I can also see how speaking styles are a choice, for example Gilmore Girls being a very fast paced run- not to necessarily compare this to a tv series, but it was the example I thought of for comparison. Perhaps Shakespeare is another- as rhythm is to be considered.
Perhaps I need to rewatch this movie, or simply another by the same director. I enjoyed the students, as they are intelligent and interesting. I'm not sure that I enjoyed the movie as a whole though, despite the scientific and sci-fi touches.
