They could easily have made a sequel since the movie seems to end somewhere halfway the story.

The Book by Carl Sagan went on for quite a while (read it ages ago, hope I remember this correctly) *spoilers ahead*. Later in the story a huge discovery was made regarding the number pi (3,14~) which was always believed to be build up of random numbers when you precicely calculate it.
They discovered that after calculating to like the 10E-10000th digit, binary code started showing up wich formed, when written out, a circle. The only explanation was that god apparently put his autograph somewhere in the number pi, a natural constant, proving his existence.

Indeed lots of religious mumbo-jumbo in this movie, usually not really my thing, but I thought it was a good movie (but the book was better)
