John Lithgow who rides a rocking chair and offers lines of dialogue that amount to nothing?
These were all poorly established cardboard cutout costars because the main character of the film was supposed to be the Universe and Science... which is what makes it's most glaring failings to abide by known reality even more significant.

Yes, indeed, you were not emotionally involved. The idea of the film is not any new, rather basic and simple: when the time comes one has to put his shit together to fight for what he loves if there is a minimal chance. This is called love, emotional thing.
