comparing and contrasting interstellar- 2001 space odyssey was way too long too. that movie could be 30 minutes long and cover everything. and there's no real character development in it. nothing there to make me care about Dave, or HAL. there's not even an explanation for why HAL konked out. and the worst thing about it is the silly psychedelic trip ending. and just like interstellar, it plays with spiritual concepts, the benevolent aliens advancing mankind after watching us for 1000s of years. right. nevertheless, enjoyable to watch.
Contact is even more like interstellar with love being portrayed by physics, and, ahem, that story is by carl sagan himself. fun to watch though.
