why is it rated 7?

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2009)

The only thing that i have to say is....the universe is a pretty big place ..it's bigger than anything..anyone has ever dreamed of before. so if it's just us...it seems like an awful waste of space... right?
The movie is right on target with a nice compact script and excellent direction and acting to go with.Sound and visual effects are convincing enough and plots and twists are great too.I would like to give credit to director for his belief in the concept and Carl Sagan for sharing his unique perspective.
This movie explores the idea of life on another planets...are there more like us or not so like us?..but the point of the movie is that if we lift ourselves from the barriers of the world..our day to lives..and start thinking over the question ..that why r we here?..then we can come up with really fascinating answers.
And finally for sci-fi geeks this movie is great...wormholes..relativity..it's all there and the best thing is the contact part and the ending for which u would have to see the movie!!
10/10 from me!! And finally one question... if u get a chance to leave earth and establish contact with another intelligent life form(with no hope of returning back)...would u go?
