It's full of things that are clearly impossible/unlikely to those that know a little about space science and history but surely that's what Science Fiction is all about.  IMHO it is just so realistic in 3D but I don't think it'd work on a second viewing as yes the basic plot and dialogue are thin.  So no 3D Blu Ray player for me just yet - even if they're under £70 now  eeek:

Grand Budapest Hotel (still in cinemas)

Not your average film and not for everyone but we thought it was a great tongue in cheek yarn. 
Well, whatever, nevermind

Watched Searching For Sugar Man last night.... absolutely stunning!  cloud9:

It completely qualifies for Barman's five thumbs up recommendation - great film!  Thumbs: Thumbs: Thumbs: Thumbs: Thumbs:

Quote from: Amazon
In the late ‘60s, a musician was discovered in a Detroit bar by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. They recorded an album that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording artists of his generation. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. This is a film about hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music.
