Robert Zemigis has always been good at driving movies that emphasize both special effects and plots, but for him, adapting "Overtime Contact" is still full of challenges. Because the novel has a large time and geographical span, and contains hundreds of characters, integrating all of this into a clear and fascinating story is the top difficulty in the adaptation process. Zemigis began to work with Sagan to adapt the script. The two tried to find a balance between fun and science. Although the perspectives of filmmakers and scientists could not be exactly the same, their cooperation did give the film a unique charm. When he first started the script, Karl tried his best to defend the science, hoping that the storyline would be practical, while Robert Zemigis defended the theatrical elements, hoping that the storyline would not be too professional.

The beautiful imagination represents the human desire for the universe. The ultimate goal of science and religion is to seek truth. "I'm not sure if there are aliens, but if there are only human beings in the vast universe, human beings are too lonely."
