I read the book, enjoyed it very much. The film is very true to the book. In some ways it might have been *too* true - a little lead-in to the story might have been nice - some shots of Rome and the Vatican. And I wanted some follow-up shots at the end of the film - it ended a little too abruptly.

A movie with a lot of old men talking is not for everyone but that's one of things that makes it refreshing. I might quibble with some of the direction (a little too 'arty' at times) but the acting was top notch.

Yes, I recommend this film but be prepared for a slow burn, and I probably would suggest *not* reading the book beforehand.

I enjoyed Season 1 for the most part. Some of it pushed credulity but OK...

I was looking forward to Season 2 and seeing humanity push out into the solar system but what we've got is a soap opera. It feels like the writers have run out of ideas and are padding the real story.

I think the makers of this film set out to make a different sort of science fiction. In that they succeeded but unfortunately they forgot to make it entertaining. The story was half-baked and the direction made it difficult to follow. The actors did a good job with what they were given but that wasn't enough to save an otherwise dull 2 hours. All in all, disappointing. That's all I have to say but since I'm being forced to write 10 lines of text let me remark that the lake front home of Amy Adams's character (honestly I can't remember her character's name or be bothered to look it up) was pretty nice. I'd like to live there. There, 10 lines.
