Well produced but doesn't stay within it's field
Could have been an 8.
Nothing out of the ordinary, a decent amount of facts (wo fact checking), good enough CGI and a narrator that is on point. That is, until the monologue starts confusing the search for extraterrestial life with the search for personal enlightenment. It goes on pushing that a human canno't possibly know who it is until it sees the reflection of itself in another (intelligent) living entity's "eye", While it's cute to pose the question as such to get people possibly intrigued by the scientific endeavour and seti (pun intended) even those early on in the search for enlightenment, inner peace, awareness and clarity of it all know that you do not search for answers outside your target of interest but within it. No one can answer questions you have yet to ask yourself in a meaningful manner.
When you ask questions you also ask for specific answers, this is as important of a step to the scientific endeavour as within the search for enlightenment, ignoring is is not good. That alone took this from an 8 to a 6. Enlightenment is something you reach through overcoming ignorance and arrogance reaching awareness and clarity. Neither will it show discrepancies versus the human (context - if you believe you are the result on an environment only; a fatalist) resulting in a disparity that will lead you to the answer.
It was never a 9 as it kept within the frames set up by others long before, if you have read up on this subject you will have seen very similar projects 20 or more years ago.
