Could have been a great movie!

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2007)

Its been some time since I watched this movie and remember being stuck on one key flaw in the story line that still drives me crazy. How can all the countries in the world that have accepted the idea that another alien civilization has contacted earth, agree to build an advanced and expensive transport device based on blueprints never seen before and still cannot comprehend the possibility that Jodie Foster had made contact. To add further insult, no one discusses the option of rebuilding the transport and trying it again? The end of the movie becomes more of a legal court room drama.
Would love to see Contact II with Jodie in the lead role. Once Contact is made again and its proved that we are not alone, we can watch a transformed earth and the dynamics on how all the nations of our world accept the existence of extraterrestrial life and transition towards peace and unity. Imagine
