I soo wanted to see this when it first came out in theaters, but, didn't get to. So, I decided to watch it when it was ran on tv; I was highly disappointed. I found it to be a bit annoying and not easy follow. For example: I remember one part where a rock or something hit a guy in the head and killed him- it showed him die then showed that the rock is what killed him. And there were a few more scenes that used that same technique. Needless to say, I couldn't finish it and I can usually push myself to finish movie. In my opinion, it was a interesting plot and had potential, but, fell short of greatness.... What a shame :(

I give it 3.5 so have to round up... And yes duh.. anyone with a pulse over 2 knows that the science of actually doing what the movie is about (traveling portion) is so beyond possible with any technology or capabilities we are anywhere close to having. But that's also why it is a science FICTION movie... and to take something sooo 'impossible' I actually find it pretty entertaining and only mildly cheesy.. If you can not pick it a part bc you are a Geologist or a professor of thermodynamics and worry about why every thing is so impossible then it's entertaining specially to watch something different for a change.

If you have a basic understanding of geology, physics, biology or thermodynamics you need to not see this. If you don't, you do not need to see this. Nobody needs to see this. There's an entire movie that could be made trying to correct the sins of this movie.
