'Wanna take a ride?'

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2015)

I liked the opening sequence with radio transmissions getting progressively older as we move away from the earth and beyond our solar system into the utter silence of deep space. There is a strong emphasis on religion versus science in this film â€“ and the main protagonist Ellie cannot seem to reconcile the two concepts. There's a creepy blonde preacher guy in this story (which I'd forgotten about) who instigates an exciting but deadly terrorist attack. A long film, but ultimately quite rewarding and much better than the dreadful ' Interstellar' (2014). Good ending and optimistic conclusion. Nice theme tune.
