Should this make me think?

Rating: 4/10 (11 September 2005)

For me the movie peaked (but not very high) about halfway through, and just went down from there. The whole science fiction part with weird, shining machinery and strange costumes left me bored.
And I can't subscribe to the "matter of faith" morale, when actually it would have been easy to get proof of the journey within the premises of the film: there was 18 hours of recorded tape and they still had the machine, so why not just try again? The whole idea of being able to build a machine without understanding it is also plain stupid. So all i really got from it was the feeling of being slightly annoyed.
And: am i supposed to be baffled or thought-provoked by the fact that God and extra-terrestial life is a matter of faith?
