I was really excited about seeing this, not so excited while seeing it. Its a documentary about the particle accelerator in Switzerland where they hope to create the elusive Higgs boson, minute particle whose existence has only been theorized. So there's a huge facility built specially for trying to discover this little gem and I figured this movie is supposed to tell us all about it. It told a lot about it, but not enough to get a grip on the whole idea. The place they build for the experiment is beyond huge, and didn't think its enormity translated well to the big screen. They pulled the best looking people from the project and followed them around for the execution of the experiment and its aftermath. That was pleasant and added the needed human interest aspect, but I'd like to have had a bit more explanation of what and was going on. Its a fascinating project, look for a good PBS special on it.
