The Most Unknown

I absolutely loved the idea of this film. 9 different scientists explaining the biggest challenges in their field to a scientst from another field, in a sort of chain.

But almost from the beginning there was warning signs when the first Italian scientist who studiest dark matter via detecting neutrinos under the earth hardly explains what dark matter is, why we think it exists, why it's important to figure out, even why it's underground beyond a few vague sentences.

At least show a graphic of the galaxies floating in seemingly nothingness and explain, even for a moment, what prior experiments have shown that makes it clear there's a missing piece of the puzzle - and the connecting matter in between the galaxies and solar systems may provide that answer.

Neither the male physicist or the female microbiologist seemed interested in anything but glossing over the subject and quickly moving on.

It didn't get much better from there, almost every other experiment and research topic was presented for about 1% of the movie, while the other 99% is them walking, driving, giving platitudes about science while staring into the horizon, making a fire while camping, etc, etc.

What a giant waste of an opportunity.

Poor selection of scientists, low investment by the director in digging into the topics nor presenting the information, and lazy scientists who didn't put any effort into asking interesting questions or really digging into what they are looking at.
