I was expecting to be wowed at the end, that perhaps the movie had actually accomplished evidence for god's existence. I was sorely disappointed, because it was just the same-old illogical religious rhetoric.
This was typical "man denies god's existence and has terrible life of misery and drug abuse but figures out the right thing to do and suddenly concludes god exists." It was the same-old pretentious bullshit that Christians eat up like candy. It's too bad, because it was a decent movie besides that.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
