It is a Sci-Fi movie ... or isn't it?

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2004)

I saw this movie in theatre back in 1997. 7 years later, with a bought version, I viewed again. The first impression seven years ago was : This is not a truly sci fi movie, where is the aliens, where is the super laser gun or plasma array ...
At that time, discussion was on about what this movie was about. After so many years, the feeling is totally different from the 'first impression'.
This movie was not about scientist and their discovery. It is about faith. People may get different result from the movie though. But, to take science as 'fact' is a big faith as well.
The movie borrowed the shell of a science movie up until 3/4 of the length. In the last part, when we couldn't show what we 'feel' and 'see', others would have to take it by faith.
This movie is not a pure faith movie, in that it still gives the loop hole that something left in proving the unproved jounery.
Anyhow, this is a good movie that let people to think and feel.
