Beautiful

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 1999)

This film is what science fiction is all about. Hollywood released two sci-fi films in one year that I thought to be great ( Gattaca was the other). Jodie Foster is simply sensational, and James Woods gives another scene stealing performance. For those who didn't like the ending didn't understand it. It was giving you a choice, to agree with Ellie or to disagree with her. You can argue the static was proof, but so many things could have happened. I am not a big fan of Robert Zemeckis, especially after Forrest Gump. This movie redeemed him in my eyes. I went to this film with high expectations, and Contact was better than I thought it would be. A thinking person's sci-fi.
