the on-going 'faith' argument between Jodie and the Matthew McConaughey character. I understand that this was nowhere to be found in Carl Sagan's book, and the film critics rightly took issue with it.
Actually, I found the 'dream sequence' to be quite satisfying and plausible. Didn't diminish my enjoyment or overall opinion of the movie, which I feel should definitely be included on that list.

C.B.,
Yes, I agree the odd "faith" sub-plot between Foster and McConaughey seemed artificial and intrusive. Of course, that subplot is important as it's a religious extremist Jake Busey who sabotages the (first) machine and kills Skerritt, though I don't remember any connection between that character and McConaughey. I didn't know it was not included in Sagan's original story. For such an important plot point, the religious sub-plot was very weakly presented.
I've often wondered if the minor religious subplot of the early 50's movie version of "War of the Worlds" (the minister prominent in the early part of the movie who walks toward the alien ray reciting Psalm 23 and the climax in the church near the end) was also added into the mix or was included in the book?
Cheers,
Bambi B
