I really appreciated this lengthy history of Magellan for its no-nonsense attention to detail, its use of primary sources, and its great readability and the excitement of its story; I’m glad to have filled in my mental picture of the early 1500s and I enjoyed it the whole way.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.
