So...was Ellie's dad an alien at the end?
Just wondering.
shareNo that was the form the alien took
They used a life form from her memories she would be familiar with. They felt it would seem less threatening to her.
Better than a one eyed purple creature with tentacles.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
I think Ellie was sophisticated and intelligent enough to handle seeing a real, deal purple, 6-eyed, scaly alien. However..... that would have destroyed the whole theme about faith v. scientific proof. The movie was an allegory on religion and faith in general. The ending was meant to leave us with doubt, and test our notions about belief and truth.

The book goes into greater detail: the aliens appear in the form of the single individual the particular passenger (there were 5 in the book) loved and trusted most in their lives.
There was much speculation that Drumlin (who was a dick in the book much as he was in the movie), had he gone, probably would have met a perfect carbon copy of himself.

4) You ever seen Superman $#$# his pants? Case closed.
lol meeting with himself? That would be kinda weird.
