This film manages to take topics like sci-fi and religion, combine them together, and make it work so well. And this is coming fromanatheist
One of the greatest science fiction films ever made
It's just amazing, not a lot of words to say after watching it. Carl Sagan was brilliant and that is what he did here.
Good, not great. A bit too melodramatic in spots, and the faith aspects were a bit boring for me
This is such a great movie of such a great book.
one of those films that poses a lot more existential and philosophical questions than it answers...
A celebration of space travel, and the suggestion that contact with other beings may help transcend our little lives.
If you love Carl Sagan you would love it. It’s an interesting and thought provoking piece of cinematic art.
A good adaptation of the novel. It works on many levels and is thought provoking. Explores science vs. religion. Very enjoyable.
A really good sci-fi drama. The acting and cinematography are excellent. Story is interesting and well written. Worth a watch.
