One of the best films I've seen for a long time

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 1998)

This is one of the best films I've seen in a while, a film that leaves you thinking for a long time after the end titles are already over. The main idea is more or less like that of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which is a HUGE film by itself, but this film deals more with the spiritual aspect of the human-alien contact - is there a god out there. I like the change that Jody Foster's character had during the film: how everything she believes in as a scientist stands against her. However, there was a little too much "Shmaltz" in the movie. 9 in the Big Max chart
