Every Review Says A Viewer Has To Be Patient Because Its VERY Slow Paced


I wonder how this will be truly received by general audiences? Every single review that I've seen or read says that the pace is extremely slow bordering on dull. They all recommend it as a cerebral movie. That's not exactly the recipe for success.

I've eead many reviews too, but they weren't saying EXTREMELY SLOW.

It's not slow at all. There's always information being given, and after the arrival (about five minutes) it becomes quite fast paced. You'd have to have ADHD and be watching it through the time dilation of orbiting a black hole to think it was slow.

its never too slow

It's a boring film period. Just read between the lines in just about ALL of those reviews.
