If you have a closed mind with zero imagination then this movie is definitely not for you. You'll get frustrated with all of the possibilities and the inquisitive nature of the writer. If you like to challenge the normal ways of thinking and ask the question "what if..." then you'll enjoy this flick. The ending could have been better but with time constraints i can understand leaving it open instead of a too quick wrap up.

It seems like most people missed the point of this movie. Without having to spoil much I will say that it was not about connecting science and faith. It was about being open minded. Most think that pious/religious people are close minded and stubborn but sometimes it's the scientific people who will not take any other explanation. Some people treat science in a religious-esque way.

After watching this movie attempt to connect science and religion in such a messy and nonintellectual way, made me want to vomit. Religion has no place with science and needs to keep itself to itself. At the end of this movie it basically boils down to a what if question asked by a 5 year old. I was originally going to give this movie 2 stars but after reading the other reviews of scientifically illiterate people looking too this movie as a sort of truth or a sort of confirmation to themselves that science might back up their religious views(which it doesn't so stop trying), writing things such as "TRUTH" and "Great theory of how science and faith connect", I had to bump it down a notch.
