"Billions and billions of stars..."

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2013)

Carl Sagan is a hero of mine. I admit it. Him and Richard Feynman. If more people had them as role-models instead of sports-stars, actors and models the world would look a very different place, to the better.
Sagan never took opposition to religion, he merely asked: if there is a creator, who created him? In this masterpiece he again leans towards that question with religion being portrayed by Matt M and science by Jodie Foster. Of course science is the main focus and i remember Sagan in his TV- series "Cosmos" often contemplating how a Non-Terrestial-Intelligence would contact us and that his conclusion was by mathematics, in this case prime numbers. This movie is great and has a message that speaks to many people: Have an open mind and be curious about the world and cosmos we live in, and that we are not alone in this universe.
This movie is a lost gem in many ways, people these days just needs their quick-fix action-flick. That's sad.
