Engrossing

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 1999)

This film never particularly interested me at the box office, but after a recommendation I watched it on video and realised what I had missed out on at the big screen. This is a magnificent modern sci-fi epic and I was immediately drawn to the characters, and the relationship between Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. A classic story of life long obsession works better than ever when transferred to this situation of longing and hope for Contact!.
