Review of Rocket Science (2007) by Heather M — 19 Nov 2012

Rocket Science had the makings of a really great film, but it just didn't go anywhere for me. There were a bunch of interesting, believable characters, but they just fell flat on their faces. The ending had many issues.

Firstly, it was completely predicable. You could see it from the moment Ben suggested to enter as a home schooled team. The final scene was also a problem for me. It felt like a forced let's-wrap-this-up-somehow ending, and I was left feeling unresolved.

I was also disappointed with the character of Ginny. She faded out of the movie completely and I wasn't sure whether I should like her or hate her. Rocket Science had moments of brilliance within an average storyline.

It's a shame it didn't rise to it's potential.
