Title: The Christian answer to "Contact"
Review: Sci-fi/paranormal thriller based on SETI Home & U.S. military paranormal experimentation -- almost all the action takes place in a privately-owned observatory in the Sierra Nevadas. Compares well with the Hollywood movie, "Contact." Surprisingly, I liked it a lot up until the end ...Besides the obvious "Contact" comparison, "Deceived" seems to me like a grown-up version of Bill Meyers' "Forbidden Doors" (a series of novels for Christian teens which I LOVE & I wish someone would make movies out of THOSE), but (to me) "Deceived" seems to lose something by the end ...Can't quite put my finger on it, although I must say that I enjoyed the movie A LOT more than I thought I would. (I THOUGHT it was going to be hopelessly hokey.) I do agree with the basic premise, though -- & that's why I mentioned the "Forbidden Doors" series ...
