Much Ado About Nothing
By Mox (64 reviews) from Chipping Norton , 17 Dec 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
It is bizarre that the BBC made this and even more bizarre that they tried to sensationalise what were fairly unimportant events. Einstein and Eddington were essentially boring and dour people. They corresponded during war-time when England v Germany was playing, but this was not the terrible crime for scientists portrayed in this film.
The acting and production are good, but as with most BBC productions of late the screen play is rubbish. The portrayal of Einstein as a robust man (he was more of a weedy swot) is way off mark and the treatment of Eddington's homosexuality is laughable.- Was this review helpful to you?

(29)Inspiring Treament of Scientific and Ethical Issues
By Seedyvee (187 reviews) from Grantham , 26 Nov 2012This was a very inspiring account of two temperamentally different scientists, working in two countries violently at war with each one another, trying to find the truth together about gravitation in spite of political interference. The characterizations were crisp and fascinating though the scientific insight was rather bite-sized in delivery rather than discursive.
There were many external shots in various national locations that gave a wonderful period feel to the whole film. Despite the seemingly forbidding subject matter the whole travelled quite large emotional distances and was an extremely rewarding film.- Was this review helpful to you?

A LOT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED
By YOLLEL (32 reviews) from STOURBRIDGE , 05 Aug 2011This was a film that we just took a chance on and it paid off.
A good story without the usual foul mouths that cinema dishes out now.- Was this review helpful to you?

Very interesting and great insight
By a customer , 22 Apr 2011Very Intresting film about Einsteins theory. It is very helpful to understand the debate and very educational for all the family. I enjoyed the presentation and the fact that they managed to keep interest going on a subject that is very scientific. Highly recommend it for people who want to get some insight.I wish there were more films like this on scientific debates.- Was this review helpful to you?

Einstein and Eddington
By Psychobunnie (7 reviews) from Dundee, Scotland , 23 Nov 2010Not a brilliant film but interesting insite into the two scientists lives. Although it's based on fact, there wasn't really enough to the story to have made a film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Worth it
By a customer from Brighton , 31 Oct 2010This wasn't what I expected, but I'm really glad I watched it as I learnt a lot about the science bit, and of course it was brilliant to see an understated performance by the gorgeous and glorious David Tennant, now that he's said goodbye to Dr Who. Good for him! - he's clearly not afraid to tackle really different roles, and this is certainly one of them (although maybe it predates Dr W.) Certainly quite intriguing, worth watching. Nice one.- Was this review helpful to you?
