Contact by Carl Sagan
3.0

Certainly some interesting science and philosophical discussion in this tale. I thought the ending a bit anticlimactic. The tale develops fairly slowly with the gathering of radio telescope data from an area in space near a star. A mere twenty-five light years away. If nothing else, the humans on earth from countries that rarely talk to each other, learn to work together and put their antagonistic natures aside. Long story short, a "machine" is built from the telescope data, a trip is taken, the antagonists return to their true nature and life resumes as if nothing has happened.

Did I say philosophical discussions?

I won't bother renting the movie.
