A rich film I learn from every time I watch it.

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2000)

To me, this is an amazing film and one of my top two or three. Those with blinders on thinking it is only a space movie will miss the point entirely. The movie is about patience, persistence, passion, truth, conflict, faith, beauty and evil of humanity, love, God, science, space, and more. I have never learned more from a movie...and I'm 35 years old.
I also recommend the DVD. It includes audio commentaries by Foster, Zemeckis, and the FX guys. Don't tell anyone, but this $19.99 DVD is worth well over $100. It's like four movies
