No I'm serious, I get the message in the movie and I thought it was pretty cool, but it's certainly not on the same level as 2001 or even THX. The movie is about faith. The book may be different, but I've only seen the movie. There wasn't a whole lot up to interpretation, you know what I mean? Even the ending was straight-forward. The main character knew what she saw, knew that it was fact, but also knew that there was no scientific evidence to back it up (or so she thought). It's analogous to religious belief. Many people think that it's a blind belief because our science does not confirm it (though neither can it prove it wrong), though I'm sure that for some people it really is a blind belief. I think that part in the end where they basically confirm that the whole thing did happen kind of hurt the movie. There was really no speculation after that. Good movie, and it had a nice message, but yeah...
