Lorenz L @Lorenz1060 2 days ago Shortly after the promising start of the film, I paused to look at Wikipedia to see what f Hawking thought about it; it seems he was quite moved. But looking at his bio, I started clicking on web pages relative to quantum physics, The Big Bang, The Big Crunch, and … well, I spent about three hours reading and learning before returning to the film. And it’s a good thing I did, because you won’t hear much of any of this except in extremely watered-down soundbites spoken by other characters or the machinery which spoke for Hawkins after he lost the ability to speak. Theses isolated blobs of science are by far the best and most interesting aspects of the film. The vast majority of it consists of Hawkins' private life with his increasingly beleaguered wife, awards, children being entertained, parents being rude, and a nurse who supersedes wife #1 who, briefly, becomes #2. It quickly settles in soap opera territory with all the nasty bits (lovers, divorces, remarriages, tantrums) omitted.

On one level, it deals with Stephen Hawking and how he and those around him cope with ALS. But just as rich is the story of his relationship and marriage with Jane. Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are both excellent. This was our third viewing, so the story was familiar, but that didn't detract much from our enjoyment. Parts are sentimental, but the sentiment seemed appropriate rather than excessive. See more Peninnah Z @RT68923912 Jul 6, 2026 The Theory of Everything is a beautifully made biographical film that tells the remarkable story of physicist Stephen Hawking and his extraordinary journey through life. What impressed me most was how the movie focused not only on his groundbreaking scientific achievements but also on his resilience, determination, and ability to keep pursuing his passion despite facing enormous physical challenges. The performances were outstanding, especially Eddie Redmayne, who brought depth and authenticity to the role. The film also explores themes of love, family, hope, and the power of perseverance in difficult circumstances. It is emotional, inspiring, and thought-provoking, reminding viewers that true strength comes from refusing to give up on your dreams. Overall, The Theory of Everything is an excellent film that combines education, inspiration, and heartfelt storytelling, making it a memorable and worthwhile watch.
