I just happened to catch this on PBS, and was quickly drawn into the story. Initially I was intrigued by the physics (I wish I could say I understood everything discussed), but soon was rewarded with the additional aspects of familial and human relations that was explored in the film as well.
As a history buff, I was envious of the position of Mark Everett as he went on a journey to discover his father's past. As a son, I couldn't be any less envious of the relationship he had with his father. However, seeing Everett's progression and evolution of emotions and views in regards to his father, and his family as a whole, was quite entertaining and emotionally rewarding.
Maybe it's just my eclectic interests, or maybe the more universal aspects of the human experience, but I found the film enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it, and wouldn't mind watching it again. The soundtrack certainly doesn't hurt either.
