This is one of those movies where you must suspend the laws of physics as you know it.
the premise is pretty your typical love story except that they are literally kept apart by gravity of their own respective worlds which orbit each other
like I said, you must turn off your analytical brain for this movie to work
What keeps these planets from coliding?
I think the casting was good, plot was decent even though it's predictable
that said, the world building and the culture they build is pretty cool
you can tell they put some thought into aspects of how people live, even things like sports. How cool would it be to play basketball on two opposite-opposed but parallel courts <!-

like that. Isn't that cool?
I also love the lighting and the effects. The visual effects are simply quite stunning and creative within the setting of the story.
Horrible narration though. The explanation, writing and monologue is painful to listen to. The writing sounds like it was written by film school dropout.
the narration has this horrible faux expressive vibe that is horrible. I think the guy is a decent actor, but narration is clearly not his strong suit.
If your a sucker for sci-fi and you can turn off your analytical brain off for a bit, I think you'll enjoy this movie
visually stunning and creative
