Chavinistic junk

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 1998)

Absolutely agreed with ANVAAS The movie reeked with assy American chauvinism, the worst insult being that according to the film, the rest of the world can't wait to adopt our national holiday. Get a clue my fellow Americans--the rest of the world is not sitting around waiting to become just like us.
Equally annoying is the much-ballybooed prayer scene, the one Bob Dole liked so much. Think folks. It's easy to imagine we're God's special creation when we share the known universe with animals the smartest of which can't assemble a three-piece jigsaw puzzle. But here come aliens who can assemble a spaceship as big as Brazil and fly it across the galaxy...wouldn't there be a theological question in a more intelligent film, like maybe we're like their beef cattle, and God created us for them?
