I stumbled upon this movie. I am a big fan of anything science or engineering related. I am pleased to have found this. The story is a bit trite but has enough twists and turns to keep my attention. Generally, I watch part of a move and then watch the remainder later. This is one of the rare times I watched the whole thing without a break. I would suggest that you do not do any research before watching. There is a very big surprise at the end.

This movie, in comparison to other movies with a similar plot, was almost completely as expected. The plot was a very repeated one. The script in general was average. The composition was above average, but not excellent. In many parts of the movie I got bored. The movie really met the genre of the film. The acting was above average. The actors were not likable and didn't get me engaged with the movie. I had no problem with not finishing the movie. Nevertheless, the script was very good, the character development was average, the plot was somehow interesting, the content of the movie met it's genre, and the film was to some extent fun to watch. Overall quality of movie: Average. Rating of movie: 27/100. (2.7/10)

I found the rating of this movie to be over reaching. While the cast was an interesting blend, I just didn't feel much of the characters fit. Lopez didn't feel like he connected at all, and many of the scenes were very forced. I really appreciate that this is a true story, but I felt the acting (or maybe the directing) was just off point. the 5 stars are simply for the story told.I will say Esai Morales, José Julián, and Marisa Tomei did a pretty good job for their roles, they felt believable. I was surprised that Jamie Lee Curtis went for the role she did, while it was completely believable, there were some parts that had me going "really? ...why would she do that?" Carlos PenaVega was believable but the acting fell short in many cases, again forced emotions and sloppy writing for certain situations. Young actors are often caught posing and much like project almanac, often blank or shy smiling in moments that don't call for it.

I am so happy there are no negative reviews for this film. Really tight directing. Not being sappy but still emotional. Underdog theme but no bullshitting around. People getting to do the job with all their differences. And some great honest jokes. Great acting. Marisa and Jamie-Lee are always awesome and real. Perfect for this film. Do not know much of Sean's directing work, but if this is his style, keep it up. Fantastic job all around for what could have been melodramatic bullshit fluff. Awesome film for the genre.
