Well worth keeping.

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 1998)

Contact polarizes the audience, and this provokes discussion and communication-- reasons that this motion picture deserves to be a VHS widescreen or DVD keeper. Skip the pan-and-scan version as it loses too much of the visual effects. The splitting of your friends and acquaintances into "didn't get it-- I hate it" and "there were three or four levels at work here" camps stands as a tribute to Sagan (via Foster) and his wish to help us all make "Contact" with each other.
