Haven't seen this in 15 years and the moment I realized the fanatical Christian terrorist was Jake Busey it felt like the earth shifted under my feet
Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the director of 'Cure' and 'Pulse' has said that Robert Zemeckis is perhaps "the American film director who makes the most authentic films today." Not sure I would go that far, but this movie owns and was unfairly maligned when it first came out for its earnest, heart on the sleeve, humanist sentimentality. Sure, it's a little corny, but the ending of this movie is moving, beautiful and takes seriously the big ideas about faith, science, the existence of God and our place in the universe in a way most films are too scared to touch for fear of being square. Out of all the ideas in this film's secular theology, I appreciated the most the idea that…
Populist, relatively grounded, extremely self-impressed sci-fi, with lots of bluntly expository scenes where the characters articulate, often at great length, both the themes and the science. Actually more thrilling, not less, for its clumsy sentiment and gee-whiz philosophy. There's this infectious awe in the face of the universe's vastness and our species' relative preciousness, despite taking place mostly in offices, ramshackle labs, and courtrooms.
Something about how this movie is both Arrival and Interstellar rolled up into one 20 years before either of the two were even made.

The sheer concept of “science fiction” automatically lends itself to unrealism. And yet, there are levels of “realistic” to which sci-fi films can be reasonably equated. This is not to say that only the most grounded scenarios can be considered realistic; just because something cannot be easily rationalized by our current state of technological advancement, does not, in my mind, deem it unrealistic. Rather, science fiction is meant to pose the question: if X piece of technology or scientific concept existed, how would humans react and how would it be incorporated into our society? This is the metric by which I judge…
