Long Drawn Out Film

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2008)

Always enjoy Jodie Foster's acting and in this film she plays a scientist, (Eleanor Arroway) who loves all the stars in the sky and planets and is hopeful of finding aliens who live on other planets. Eleanor since she was a little girl was interested in the sky and her father, Ted Arroway, (David Morse),"Taxi TV Series" encouraged his daughter and gave her everything possible to increase her knowledge. Eleanor lost her mother in child birth and then her father dies when she is only nine years of age. Eleanor studies and advances her knowledge where she gains great support from the United States Government. This story is very long and at times becomes rather boring, however, there is great entertainment with great graphics and by the way, Eleanor does reach her goal, but being an atheist causes her to have many problems.
