Review

 

The exciting adventure of the day we make contact with life beyond Earth comes to the screen with a profound sense of wonder and a dazzling visual sweep that extends to the outer reaches of space and the imagination. Jodie Foster is astronomer Ellie Arroway, a woman of science. Matthew McConaughey is religious scholar Palmer Joss, a man of faith. They're opposite ends of a spectrum - and sudden players on the world stage as the countdown to humanity's greatest journey begins. Powerfully, thrillingly and emotionally, 'Contact' connects.

Why was this film made...? No action, No aliens, No comedy, No nothing! This film is the biggest disappointment ever. Forget what all the critics say, its just worthless. Seriously though, the acting is OK, but the rest...Pointless

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Warning BIG SPOILER in the review titled My first ever DVD

Loved the film, its spectacular, intelligent and moving. Sci-fi done properly.

It you haven't seen it, DON'T read the review titled "My first ever DVD" below, which isn't a review, just a massive SPOILER for the ending.
