grahamth I have just watched possibly the dullest film ever made. It was one of those you persevere with thinking "It will get better any minute...wont it?" but it just doesn't. Nothing happens! I felt nothing for the lead character and apart from the lady next door, the rest of the cast were wooden. I actually stopped the movie half-way thru to re-read what it was about. It makes no sense. And a previous reviewer was absolutely right about the sound. I had to watch with the remote in my hand. You either cannot hear the whispering or the windows are rattling with the music. Being John Malkovic has been my all-time worst movie...until today.

hendry-robert I could have easily watched this all the way through had it not been for the movies sound. I cannot fathom what on earth the sound people think their doing. During quiet voice sections I was constantly having to rewind and turn the volume up to hear what the actors were saying and then turn it down during the loud music sections. Just after half way through I switched it off which was a shame because its a decent film but you need to get in to the vibe rather than automate the film with the remote control. Perhaps it was just the copy I watched?I may pick it up again when Im in the mood and knowing what the sound is like I will be better prepared because I would have liked this movie for its interesting story.

g-jordan84 I saw "The Scientist" at the sneak preview on March 2nd. The only thing I found enjoyable about the film was the fact that so many people I am connected with had something to do with it. The ONLY actor whose performance actually made an impression on me was that of Adam LeFevre. I thought the plot moved along entirely too slow, not to mention there were several points at which the sound was PAINFULLY loud. I left the theater feeling offended, not only by the abuse to my eardrums, but also by the fact that the main character decided to influence his neighbor about her reproductive choices. It was obvious that she didn't really want to have an abortion in the first place, but it was his arrogance in that regard that I found so offensive. It also didn't seem as though the writers actually did any research as far as what kind of process and treatment by the clinic a woman experiences when seeking an abortion. It's a sign of ongoing dysfunction that the couple "connected" once they decided to keep the baby. It made me unsure if he was being sincere or just faking it to get her to do what he wanted. I left wondering if this was just anti-choice propaganda disguised as a sci-fi film. And I don't think that is what it was supposed to be. It needed to focus more on the scientist himself, his work, and his family rather than the neighbors'. I am happy for all my friends who got to be in it, but otherwise utterly disappointed.

Virginia Kincaid The above summary is a quote from a reviewer who stated it better than I could. "A journey past the known and into the unknown, ... this film ... uses sci-fi elements to enable the main character - a physicist whose specialty is quantum mechanics - to selflessly uplift and have an effect on those around him in a positive manner." Bill Sage does a marvelous job of character development. The supporting cast is excellent as well. In the interest of full disclosure, since I had a bit part in this film: Lest you think this is a self-serving review, my small scene was cut.The audience all left the theater feeling better than we did when we came in. I urge you to see this unique film.
