I really liked the underlying sentiment to this film. It takes one of the most complex of scientific subjects and humanises it. This is not a film about gizmos and gadgets, there is precious little (if any) CGI. It is all essentially a love story. Not between two people, but between "Jim" (Nicolas Giraud) and his passion - going into space. His character is normal, poorly funded and maybe not the best at…
