What a disappointment.

Rating: 3/10 (11 February 2019)

It's been a while now since I wanted to see this movie. I had read some very good critics and seen that it was more or less considered a master piece of science fiction. How wrong...
It is a very bad movie according to me and I still don't understand those good critics. It begins very well though, the first hour convinced me. But then comes the second part of the movie and Religion enters the scene and pushes the movie into a bad version of itself. Since when astronauts are selected based on wether they believe or not in religion ?
This movie is an archetype of the American Hollywood pro-religion and poorly directed movie (what happened Robert?). It's sugar-coated, simpleton and overplayed, although I usually like Jodie Foster's acting, this role was not for her.
Few days ago I watched the Thing and The Abyss, I therefore may have unwillingly and unconsciously had too high expectations for Contact.
