Science kicks **s!

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2000)

To actually envision this idea was really incredible. But making it into a film of this magnitude is astounding. Scientific (despite some self-proclaimed scientist's boring yarns among the comments - I think Carl Sagan knew what he was doing when he acted as advisor while making the film) and a visual wonder.
I love this film, partly because I love science fiction that is truly scientific and true to the world that we can see and envision today, and partly because the answer to the question of intelligent life will raise serious religous issues. This film works very well in both respects.
A truly wonderful film, it carries information and thought better than most.
