I think it's the best movie ever

It makes sense to me. I love thinking about these extreme - but realistic - issues in sci-fi. What happens when a less advanced race meets a more advanced race? How will technology and tools advance? Will things become less "physical" in the conventional sense?

The plot, i.e. the interactions between normal characters, aren't really supposed to matter very much in this kind of movie. It's all about forcing you to think about the big picture
