A singularly poignant statement that's still valid

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2011)

While you outgrow other movies and novels, I must say this still affects me like it did after I finished Uni.
Human frailty, compassion, science, atheism, and faith in a beautiful statement that still speaks clearly, all in a not so much fiction as science vision that may very well become an experience of ours.
Novelists and movie makers may make an impact - but only a few have something to say about what it is to be a human. Carl Sagan had both, leaving an undeniably great legacy, and this is a wonderful piece of that legacy.
I recommend this movie to every citizen of Earth, of any age. It's interesting, witty, entertaining, emotional, and still looks very good indeed. It hosts a range of great actors, and if you still need another reason to watch it, how about this: it has the government suppressing information to the public in it ;)
