If you're prepared to take this movie not too seriously (if you're a critic) chances are you will like this movie.
At least I did.
I'm a physics Phd myself, and as such, I probably should be irritated by the more outrageous claims, or the reckless extrapolations of solid scientific facts far far beyond their valid domain.
But I'm not: even though the claims are highly questionable from a scientific point of view, I think the philosophy of it all is very appealing. I honestly believe that if you really want to believe in anything at all, this should be it.
At least, it's a whole lot less dangerous than some religions I can think of.
