After waiting for this movie to be released for a couple of years at least, I figured it would be better. Initially, it felt somewhat rushed. Also, the inaccuracies and omissions were painful in places. The murdered scientist was Vittoria's FATHER in the book, not a research partner. And what about the real motive behind the Camerlengo's murder of the old pope? He learned he was tje pope's biological child, thought his "father" had broken his vow of chastity. As it turns out in the book, he was the result of artificial insemination. This is the most powerful indication that religion and science can coexist in the minds of those willing to advance...while some are simply unwilling to change.
