As an avid cinephile I am reluctant to submit a rollickingly bad review, but I find it necessary to counterbalance the favourable ones.
This is a tedious, almost plot less, farrago of rich Westerners patronising impoverished third-worlders. I was waiting in excruciating boredom for something to happen. It doesn't.
The cinematography is nothing to write home about, score is poor and the acting OK. The script is dire - mixed metaphors about a Mammoth (v expensive) pen and also astronomy. Probably the idea for the film comes from the pen, and it's too thin a peg to hang an entire movie on. I would say this was, for me, one of the top five most boring films I have seen in my life.
