Sir Arthur Eddington is a renowned physicist at Cambridge University and an expert in the measurement of the physical world. He along with all of his colleagues are also avowed Newtonians. Sir Oliver Lodge suggests that he read a new thesis put forward by a German-Swiss scientist named Albert Einstein who is suggesting that Sir Isaac Newton may have got it wrong. The expectation is that Einstein's theories will be disproven but Eddington admits that his General Theory of Relativity has merit. These are turbulent times as England and Germany are at war and Eddington's own loyalty is called into question when, as a Quaker, he refuses to fight. In the end, Eddington develops a series of tests to either prove or disprove Einstein's theories. For his part, Einstein has his own struggles during this period: the breakdown of his marriage, his integration into the university in Berlin and his own strident pacifism that led him to oppose German militarism and the First World War. In the end, Eddington proves Einstein's theories as correct causing what many believe to be the launch of modern day physics.

| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDavid N. ButterworthGollum and Dr. Who play the eponymous genius physicist and relatively-unknown astronomer, respectively, in the impeccably-made BBC docudrama "Einstein and Eddington." |
| User ReviewMithun GThis is a fantastic film! Highly recommended! |
| User ReviewJoe Hgreat movie. great scientists.great discovery. |
| User ReviewDale RThis movie was an interesting juxtaposition of the title characters. The actors did such an amazing job that it was easy to forget that you were watch Gollum from Lord of the Rings and the Doctor from Doctor Who. To sum it all up in one word, I would have to call this flick "brilliant." |
| User ReviewFrank MI start watching with assumption it will look like Beautiful Mind (which I didn't like actually) but cast did great job... I liked display of world war because director didn't want to go to far in that way just enough to shown preview of atmosphere, all tensions, hate caused by war etc..., he kept "gravity" of the movie on their relationship(s) and some of important characteristics, maybe they could work more on Einstein's accent (and I on english) but that is just a minor objection.. |
| User ReviewClaire ASimplemente Notable. Que pelicula mas interesante !!!!! Siempre me ha fascinao lo q tiene q ver con mi tocayo Albert Einstein xD Es buena movie.... =) |
| User ReviewRuth Ann HThis movie was spectacular. Interesting story, brilliant writing, great cast. It chronicles a moment in history that is given little attention: the birth of the theory of relativity, and all of the people involved (it's not just Einstein, surprisingly). Plus, there is something very comforting about watching Gollum play Einstein. |
| User ReviewVicky PTotalno fora film o Einsteinu i njegovom zivotu. |
| User ReviewBrian BI liked it. An Amazing story about the chance discovery of Einstein and how he barely escaped obscurity but not for the efforts of one man who saw something in him. It reinforces the theories of Gladdwell's book "Outliers" that most success is a combination of being in the right place at the right time, and perseverance. |
| User ReviewSamitha BBrilliant film, enjoyed the excellent acting of Tennant and Serkis while learning about science and history. |
