Only negative is the cast for me, feels a little too Hollywood for how real and raw the story is. See more Chris B @Cgbarlow Jan 10, 2026 Most inspiring movie ever. My 13 year old son said if this African Tony Stark can make a windmill from a bike and a broken battery from the junk yard then with all his privilege he should be able to make something with dark matter.
