If the charisma of this movie was in Nolan's Interstellar, we could have really had something. Gosling is great, of course, and the creative leads have extensive work in comedy and genre fiction. It's an ideal pairing for a studio hit, but personally, I found the compromises made in the science, plot, tone, dialogue, etc. detracted from the gravitas its source material seems to have had. Intellectually stimulating at times, eye-rolling popcorn fare at others. It's good, though. Worth the watch.
