Religion and Science FUCK. John Hurt shows up as a Bond villain who is actually nice. We visit the strange, uncharted, mysterious lands of.... Japan and Florida. This movie is kinda bananas, but I don't think it crosses over into being full on bad.

The idea that consciousness is a part of space-time is not original to Sagan, but if you can stomach McConaughey and enjoy space science, Contact is worth a watch. The best part is the complex machine.
