Title: Great movie, but don't expect to see aliens!
Review: This movie has disappointed many a sci-fi fan expecting to meet some aliens. So be warned: no little green men (or big purple women)! But if you want to think about and imagine what it might really be like if we made first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence today, you'll LOVE this movie. I read Carl Sagan's book, and thought the movie was much better--the movie had less fire-and-brimstone-style anti-religion preaching, and more of a thoughtful, focused, storyline. (Plus of course the obligatory hollywood-style romance.) If you want space ships and laser guns, skip this one. But if you want Earth-bound drama and edge-of-your-seat suspense, don't miss it.
