All I remember about that movie is my husband standing in an aisle at Blockbuster complaining about how lame the entire premise was. All I came away with was the science was really bad, or perhaps impossible. My hubby normally likes SciFi, but this one was too ridiculous for him to even attempt to watch.
I’ve always liked Sci Fi written by guys like Robert L Forward. He was an actual physicist and tried to insert a lot of plausibility into his books.
