Hi,
I read the book a million years ago. The idea behind it is great; and I think you are cutting both movies WAAY too much slack because of the plot.

We could easily run into an alien that we could never communicate with.
It's a popular scifi theme now, but that's the first instance of it I am aware of.

The problem was that this gives the plot nowhere to go. Things get weird, and then you leave. End of story.

I see the two movies as equal. The low budget costs the a point, and
mediocore execution costs the new film even more. But I wouldn't give either film 2 out of 4.

There is a nice moment in the tv show Babylon 5 ( another Russian )
where G'Kar picks up an ant and says that we had as much in common with this race they had run into as the ant had with us. All we could hope for was to not get stepped on.
