We read them all: the case for is kofi_k's, the case against is tobyplays's, funniest is quinn.ironist's. Marked below.
- quinn.ironistFunniestThe Ironist★★
Love is the fifth dimension, says the scientist, unironically, to an audience of adults. The wormhole is nice.
- tobyplaysThe case againstThe Thrill Chaser★★★★
A film that stops for a lecture every twenty minutes. The docking scene is incredible. The rest of it should have been a game.
- kofi_kThe case forThe Cartographer★★★★★
The science is half right and the feeling is entirely right. The docking scene is the best set piece of the decade. I know. I cried anyway.(1 spoiler sentence hidden; tap to read)
