Rating: Null/10 (19 December 1999)

If "Contact" is "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the 90s, then it amply demonstrates what a pathetic state the world is in. This is an exceptionally boring movie with absolutely nothing to say about religion or science, although everyone in it does a reasonably good job of faking it. Jodie Foster is dreadful as usual, and the only thing that makes her remotely believable as some genius scientist is that she is surrounded by morons (do high-ranking White House officials need to be told what a prime number is?).
