One of the few GREAT sf (Not sci-fi) movies

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2001)

Since seeing the 1st greatest SF movie 2001 I despaired of ever seeing another. Oh the Star Trek ,Star Wars pantheon were fun but this film "Contact" is beautiful, provoking, stunning, scientifically accurate (possibly even the "Machine") and wonderfully crafted. I watched it again recently and enjoyed as much if not more. Instead of being overwhelmed by the SFX the film balances them with involving plot and great acting by all. Great scene where a senator and hordes of troops are trying to stay abreast of the stream of new discoveries pouring into the VLA telescope HQ. Wonderful stuff. I really cannot fault this film at all. See It
