In general, the acting wasn't great, but I've seen worse. Maybe it was that acting or maybe the writing, but I failed to see any chemistry between the to lovers-to-be. However, the subject matter is a big fail for me.
Colorblindness is not the death sentence it used to be. Hah - It's never been a death sentence, nor even a serious condition at all. It's relatively common, affecting 300 million worldwide, mostly men at about 8%. My son and grandson are colorblind, and my father-in-law was, but other than some slight inconvenience, it doesn't/didn't affect their lifestyles at all. It's nothing to be embarrassed about and nothing serious enough for an optometrist to get all so concerned. So it's hard to identify with these people because I just can't feel the seriousness they feel. And since a lot of people know at least one person with colorblindness, I don't see how this movie will connect with the general public.
Also, the vast majority of people who are colorblind see some color, not the black-and-white images that the main lead, Ryan, saw. They just have problem differentiating some hues between red and green. And for the very, very, few who do have total color deficiency, those glasses can't help.
By the way, my son tried those glasses, and while he did get some color back, they gave him headaches and nausea, so he returned them.
