It all makes sense, now that we know what Carl was smoking.

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 1999)

I didn't want to see another romanticized alien movie like the oen where Jaws-boy goes crazy and builds volcanos in his dining room out of mashed potatoes so I skipped this one in general release. But when I saw it on cable a few weeks ago, I even sat through it a second time, and didn't channel surf once. It was captivating. Much more scientific reality that the X-tremely weird little green men stuff. It was a touching testimonial to modern scientific knowledge. Maybe Einstein was wrong and God does play dice. The probabilities are in favor of this movie. But the contact would have to be many light years further away and hence a few centuries for the round trip. The transport mode depicted is the only scientific possibility for these distances...but I thought time would condense ?
