Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2005)

This is one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time, in my opinion, with a fascinating story and an Oscar worthy performance from Jodie Foster!. All the characters are wonderful, and the special effects are jaw dropping!, plus Jodie Foster is simply incredible in this!. There is not 1 boring moment in the film and even at 153 minutes it was never over long, plus Jodie and Matthew McConaughey had wonderful chemistry together, plus the dialog is very engaging!. The flashbacks of Ellie when she was a little girl were just fascinating to watch, and it has some great tear jerker moments too!, plus The ending really makes you think!,whether it was a dream or not. My favorite moment has to be when Jodie is on this beach in the finale (I won't spoil it for you), and Jake Busey disturbed the hell out of me in his role, plus it had a wonderful cast as well!. The movie is completely unpredictable, and it has some really creepy sounds that startle you!, plus The finale is one of the best ever!.
It's very smartly written, and you really root for Foster's character!, plus The opening was just too cool!. I don't usually like these types of movies, however i absolutely loved this one, as it's now one of my favorite movies!, plus It has lots of cool cameos's as well!. In my opinion this should be in the top 250! on this site, and i can't believe some people found this boring!, plus i found the love story to be fascinating as well!. It has suspense, drama, romance, Sci-Fi, a little bit of everything!, and Tom Skerritt is wonderful in his role!, however It's Jodie that carries this film!. This is one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time in my opinion, with a fascinating story, and an Oscar worthy performance from Jodie Foster, i had extremely high expectations for this film and it didn't disappoint me, and if you haven't seen it Do so immediately you won't regret it!.
The Diretion is fabulous!. Robert Zemeckis does a fabulous job here, with incredible camera work, jaw dropping angles, great slow mo shots, and lots of other incredible shots as well, he also added lots of creepy atmosphere!.
The Acting is no doubt Oscar worthy!. Jodie Foster is amazing as always, and is incredible here!, she gives an Oscar worthy performance, is incredibly likable, had wonderful chemistry with Matthew McConaughey, was very tense, showed fear and vulnerability, was incredible in her emotional scenes, is extremely charming and lovable, and poured her heart out in every scene!, she was incredible (in my opinion and deserved an Oscar) (Jodie Rules!!!!!!!). Matthew McConaughey is wonderful here,he had awesome chemistry with Jodie Foster, is charismatic, was very likable,and was perfect for this role! (Matthew rules). William Fichtner is lovable as the blind Kent i felt sorry for him, and he played a wonderful character i loved him!. Tom Skerritt is fantastic here, it's always a pleasure to see him in any film, i love this guy!, he had an awesome role. David Morse is great as the father, and delivered some classic lines!. Jena Malone is very cute and was phenomenal as the young Ellie, one of the best performances from a child actor ever period!. James Woods is great as usual, but didn't have much to do, he still had excellent presence though! (Woods rules). Angela Bassett does what she has to do adequately,nothing special.Jake Busey scared the crap out of me in his role,and was incredibly chilling! (Jake rules). It also has lots of great cameos!. Rest of the cast do awesome.
Overall if you haven't seen it, Do so immediately you won't regret it it's now become one of my favorite films. ***** out of 5
