one tough flick

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2004)

a radio astronomy researcher gets a message from the stars. she is told to how build a machine which will enable contact. however, this requires a multi billion investment. too much for her little budget. so the government does it. but it breaks. so they try it again in japan where things don't break so quickly. this time it works but they're still not satisfied. it seems that time warpage happens which causes time to flow slower for the astronaut than it does for those on the ground but they bitch and whine anyway. so she goes back to her radio telescopes. but she has that gleam in the eye, you know the one. this little gleam enables her to deliver the final lines with panache. darn good thing too.
