contact - huh?

Rating: 3/10 (20 February 2011)

This movie brought forth the critic intelligentsia - in droves. All very deep, much faux philosophy.
What's it all about, Alfie? The age old arguments re: science and religion (not Foster's only involvement in that). The movie solves zilch and does so after much talk, talk, talk.
It is just that. Special effects are minimal, action even less so. Not that that is such a bad thing, but it is (a) not particularly entertaining or (b) particularly fascinating.
Jodie Foster is an actress who approaches all her roles with much-o intelligence and is always interesting to watch.
Interesting "Contact" was not.
