Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
jczochan I enjoyed this series very much-the acting was top-notch and I liked how Einstein's theories were illustrated in the show. It was entertainment, people, not a documentary. I am now reading the book it was based on. It is a series that leaves you wanting to learn more-and there is nothing wrong with that.
Dan Slentz I read one review that said the viewer was disappointed after watching the first episode for its switching between past and present. Interestingly, the first episode was the least enjoyable to watch as it was a little disconcerting. But the production of the show was very well thought-out in the sense that this series (season one) BUILT the story of Einstein. It didn't just TELL a story, but allowed you to "get into Einstein's head" and understand what made the man the way he was. To watch this series, commit yourself to watching it and stay with it. A few times I thought it was slow and some of the detail written into the script was "fill", but the fact is that at the end of the last episode.. and the end of the last scene.. every part of the filming that made this production ALL came together!Kudo's to the writers and production team for an EXCELLENT production! Movies nearly always tell a story, but they don't frequently make you feel as though you've been a PART of that story or lived the experiences of the people in that movie. Genius: Einstein successfully did exactly that!Without giving away anything, it appears to be close to real life (though does take some creative license as you would expect, plus it doesn't completely write out some of the details of his life.. but that's probably because the seasons appear to be a straight 10 episode "adventure). You'll learn about his life from his childhood to his death, his influences, the tragedies, his family, his success, AND his failures (with many in his own personal life). You'll learn that this true genius certainly has his human flaws!Really worth watching! Entertaining (though don't expect fast-paced, heart-pounding adventure as it's not that type of series and does move slow at times), very informative, and educational as well. Don't let negative reviews influence you to not watch this.. and certainly watch at least two or three episodes before forming an opinion (as at least one reviewer clearly did). If you watch one episode and say "not for me", you won't know what the series is really like. It takes a few.. and you WILL be hooked!
tengo-89018 I think that that movie it the best movie ever what i ever seen it is about genius scientist albert einstein
INTXb I've been looking around for a while for a TV series or movie dedicated to telling the story of Einstein. I was quite happy after finding and watching the first season of Genius.What an incredible production... from the acting to the sets to the writing. This show really is fantastic... bravo to the cast and crew.To the naysayers complaining that every fact told in this show isn't correct, I think you're a scrooge. To translate a story like this, with so much depth and detail, into this medium does require some blurring of the lines. But overall this is really a glimpse into the life and times of Einstein, the greatest scientist and physicist the world has even known. To the whiners complaining that this is a hollywoodized production, I'm guessing you only watch episode one, or could not get past it. There is most definitely some of that, it's the nature of the business, get over it. I couldn't have asked for more out of a TV series.
