Typical Hollywood. Nothing like an old man screwing his secretary (opening scene)to get the attention of the audience. And (as others have mentioned) the flipping of scenes from one date to another is disconcerting and terrible acting doesn't help. And the scene of a Nazi spitting in Einstein's face is pure Hollywood BS. NG has been purchased (recently) by a commercial interest and money now becomes a determining factor so bring on the hype. For intellectual satisfaction I suggest watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space." And hopefully Ron Howard (producer) returns to North Carolina and goes fishing. :-)
