Synopsis: Contact (1997)
Synopis: She's known it since she was a young girl, when she would magically connect with distant voices on her father's shortwave radio. She's known it since college, when she chose the search for intelligent extraterrestrial messages as her discipline. She's known it since she bargained for just hours a week of satellite time to sweep the heavens for evidence. And she knows it every time she stares at the countless stars dappling the infinite night sky... Something is out there.Features: Contact (1997)

Cons: 150 Minutes
Compelling and believable, "Contact" is reasonably based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name. I actually felt the movie was better. Jodie foster faces endless challenges nearing achievement of her lifelong dream, constantly undercut by defeat, refusal, and betrayal. Much like "K-Pax", this is a plausible discussion of the potential for extraterrestrial intelligence, and our reaction to it. Very strong performances by all involved, and Bill Clinton's inclusion just might remind you of the good old days. ...

Pros: realism, acting, depth
Cons: none really
among my favorite three sci fi movies.
gattica, and 'the forgotten' are the other two
near to the top of jodie fosters best...prolly matthew's only real movie where he actual does some acting
very real or near real... the stuff that other sci fi is so far fetched it's kinda loopy to think you'd actually get to see an alien. (although... 'the alien' movie as a horror is a cool flick to watch)
anyways... the scenes and locations are really cool and inspiring... i've been to NARO in aricebo and plan on going to the VLA in soccoro ...
