Good, but a familiar ending

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 1998)

Overall I really enjoyed this film. It evoked many questions and made people who were paying attention to the movie face their beliefs on God, science, and the possibility of alien life. The acting was wonderful for the most part. Despite a few corny, predictable moments, the movie was very enjoyable. However, did the ending remind anyone else of "Flight of the Navigator" (1986)? The protagonist makes contact with an alien and returns to earth and wonders if the trip actually existed, but then a small but significant piece of evidence proves the trip. It may be a stretch, but I think it's a pretty valid connection.
