stunning visuals, some great Jodie Foster and that's about it

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2003)

this movie has been a real disappointment for me, despite the very stunning cg effects and Jodie Foster's involvement. The most annoying thing, however, is Matthew McConaughey who simply cannot be taken seriously in his role. It's so bad it almost spoils the entire movie. The opening sequence is very beautiful and so is Ellie's solitary journey in the spaceship.
