Clearly Carl Sagan was behind this one...

I like science, but you can't make a dramatic film about science. I suppose some people part of making the movie also understood this so there's some plot like stuff thrown in (romantic interest, a bit of political intrigue) but damn if it's all just a poor disguise for a movie about science which just doesn't make a good movie.
I can almost hear Carl Sagan droning in my ear "if you don't care about science then what *do* you care about?" I care about doing things right Carl, and pontificating that science is the end all does not justify making movies with a shaky plot support and lots of philosophic discussion not to mention a sh#! ton of astrophysics jargon.
I don't hate this movie; heck I'd say watch it, but only once.
