An interesting sci-fi movie starring Jodie Foster. The movie extensively deals with the science/religion debate and provides interesting arguments from both sides. Since I have an education in science and am an atheist, I feel that both this movie and Solyaris finally reflect the author/script-writer's bias against science. In science, an unanswered question is not a shameful thing. It is just an open problem that might get a solution someday. The religious people somehow construe the lack of scientific explanation for a phenomenon, a reason to attribute it to a supreme power. This movie also shows the loneliness of someone who believes in something that no one else believes. Overall, an intelligent movie.
