The Peon Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The ending was disappointing, but I saw it back when I was actually a Christian. So maybe I can appreciate it more now.. Thanks for the reminder, I will rent it again for a second go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Excellent movie. And a reasonable adaptation of an excellent, thought-provoking book by Carl Sagan. The book goes even further into the philosophical questions, and has an interesting twist at the end. (Which should not be revealed here!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbender Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 eh.... I agree with yourdad. I have to say I was disappointed when it was over. I want those 2 hours back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbug1 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Carl Sagan has one of the most outstanding imaginations I have ever seen. And for those that didn't like the movie (if thats even possible), you SHOULD NOT be disappointed with the book. At least try reading the pulitzer-prize winning "Cosmos."

Pangloss Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 "Cosmos", and James Burke's "Connections", are the two books that hooked me on science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI_Interface Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Personally i enjoyed the book a lot more than the movie but they were both good. I would have like the movie more if it had spent a little more time in the alien station but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maioux Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I disliked the ending very much. So much, in fact, I have (and will) never seen it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbender Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I disliked the ending very much. So much, in fact, I have (and will) never seen it again. I was talking about this movie to one of my more nerdy friends. He was practically raving about how ingenious it was, and I was just like "I didn't get it". He explained it to me, like why the alien was her father, etc. I was like, "ok, but it still sucked". IDK, the book may have been good, but I just didn't get much out of the movie. For all the hype, I have to admit I was severely disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The book is definitely better, but Jodie Foster did a great job in the movie. "Cosmos", and James Burke's "Connections", are the two books that hooked me on science.James Burke ROCKS! He makes history enjoyable as well as mixing in the best bits of science. Carl Sagan is good as well but I really like Burke's style. The Day the Universe Changed was, for me, like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was for others; it made me connect to history in a way no other teacher or text ever had.
