Your Opinions and Comments

9 / 10
A rare movie stimulates both your mind and senses. Contact does just that. It is also one of the most plausible sciencce fiction movies ever to emerge from Hollywood. Although not without the trite cliche of a sterotypical male villian that is a little one sided, the other main roles are more fully realized. John Hurt and James Woods are a riot. Jodie Foster is the perfect faithless scientist. Enjoy the visual and audio show and think about its message later...
