Title: Silly
Review: Sagan rejects traditional religion and then posits science fiction to replace it. Instead of a distant god, a very distant, fantasy civilization speaks to man from the great beyond. Ho-hum. Sagan proves he is just another flying saucer nut who hopes some alien people from way, way out there ("billions and billions" miles away?) will eventually come and save mankind. He substitutes one wild unscientific premise for another. Reads like the work of a man who would be defending the medieval church if he had lived during that time because it is clear that he has a strong mystical bend of mind; hardly the temperament that lends itself to clear thinking. Fun movie, but then, so was "Star Wars."
