Stephen Hawking and The Theory of Everything (2009)
Twenty years after A Brief History of Time flummoxed the world with its big numbers and black holes, its author, Stephen Hawking, concedes that the "ultimate theory" he'd believed to be imminent - which would conclusively explain the origins of life, the universe and everything - remains frustratingly elusive. Yet despite his failing health and the seeming impossibility of the task, Hawking is still devoted to his work; an extraordinary drive that's captured here in fleeting interview snippets and footage of the scientist sharing a microwave dinner with some fawning PhD students.

A different way of telling a story
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
