Good science fiction ruined by vague religious nonsense

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2019)

This would have been a much better movie if the money-grubbing cowards who produced the movie did not try to pander to religious people in the audience by inserting the smarmy conman character played by McConaughey.
He doesn't represent any actual, identifiable religion because once you try to assert that any specific set of religious beliefs is valid, you offend the zealots in all the other religions. This is not good for ticket sales.
McConaughey's "theology" is nothing but vague mystical jargon designed to not offend anyone, except those who actually believe in science as the best source of knowledge.
Any self-respecting scientist would have kicked him out the door, not hopped into bed with him, as Jodi Foster's character does.
