An amazing, inspiring and thought-provoking movie

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 1999)

I enjoyed this movie because of the interaction and discussion between science and religion and how they can work together. They are more similar than we think and while they don't answer the same questions, they can help to complement each other. This movie was thought-provoking and gave, what I think is an accurate picture of what might happen were we to ever make contact with an intelligent life out there somewhere.
Jodie Foster makes a great performance as a talented, driven and intelligent scientist and the other cast members are great as well. Mostly, this movie moved me to take a longer look at my own beliefs, the world around me and even as science at a career.
I would definitely recommend it to everyone as well as the book on which it is based by Carl Sagan. The movie so inspired me and other fans, that we started a Yahoo club dedicated to discussing it and all of its ideas at:

All are welcome.
