The god botherers have had a damn good go at wrecking rock, country music which has often been subjected to monotheistic drivel was tolerable once the superstitious tried & failed to force others around to their point of view, but trying to exploit scifi, a medium which has always encouraged free thinking, to toe the xtian line in the way "Proximity" has, is truly beyond the pale.
The anthropomorphic conceit of claiming an alien species would travel thousands of light years in search of a 'god' which eschewed their form in favour of a race of less technologically developed, less intelligent & much less capable earthling species is laughable. IE If humans are made in the imge of their god why does the god have a chest designed to hold a pair of lungs? God is omnipotent surely he/she doesn't need to process oxygen.
The movie is clunkily, poorly produced but just tolerable until the writer decides to ditch the fine history of rational thinking - the hallmark of SciFi ,in favour of superstition. This movie is far more akin to a poorly rendered swords & sorcery movie than a SciFi flick. You have been warned.
