Boredom?

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2001)

Contact, what can I say... brilliant concept, award winning director, some of the best actors in the industry, crap film. Why? not really sure... the only way to describe it is "extremely painful to sit through". Painful, because the film is incredibly boring, and to see such fine talent like Jodie Foster involve herself in what I would say could have been a very promising subject, instead it was big budget turkey. I think the main problem with Contact was the translation of the book into film. Contact perhaps would have faired better as a tv mini series, or at least, they should have rehashed the script into something a little bit smaller. As it is said, time slows down when your not having fun, the 3 hours in the cinema felt more like 18.
