Very good movie but the book was better

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2019)

I had read the book before the movie came out and while I enjoyed the movie a lot, they left out a HUGE twist.
A major part of both the book and movie was science vs religion, facts vs faith. Dr Arroway asks the question, if God wanted everyone to see the Christian message, why didn't he make the moon in the shape of a cross. In the book, but left out of the movie, we find that God, or some creator, went a huge step farther than that and embedded a message inside the number Pi, if you calculate it out to the bazzilionth place! That way, anyone, anywhere in the universe can find the message, if they look hard enough! Brilliant!
