Feature | Lights, Camera, Action! – The Theory of Everything (Movie Review)

Oh no. No, no, no. We clash on opinions again, Freda Sorry

I thought this was terrible - an empty puff-piece that dragged, making the two hours seem far longer.

Sure, can't knock the portrayal of Hawking - kudos to Eddie Redmayne for getting it spot on, but the movie itself was just so void of anything interesting. I felt no emotional attachment between the two lead characters, there was not enough focus on Hawking's actual achievements and how he realised many of his ideas, and so on.

Sadly, it was as I'd initially expected after seeing the first trailer before Christmas - an extremely bland romance tale that could have been done with ANY other characters and had pretty much the same effect.

Birdman, Imitation Game, Big Hero 6 - all fantastic and well worth watching. This, on the other hand, was painful to sit through.
