SyFy Channel TV. December 2015.
Anyone see this?
If not I'll avoid spoilers.
Based on the Novel by Arthur C. Clarke.
I haven't read the novel.The miniseries does challenge sacred belief structures all over planet Earth. It turns what everyone thought they knew upside down.
It begins with huge alien ships appearing out of nowhere and promising peace all over the planet and a new 'golden age' for all humanity.
Where it goes from there takes three two-hour episodes to find out. In the end, I was rather (if not shocked) surprised at the ultimate aim of these aliens.
In this screenplay we see that the author, Clarke, was definitely thinking outside of the box.
Perhaps worth a view if you too can think outside of the box.
