Heavy (spoilers)

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2002)

When I watched the movie Contact, I thought that Jodie Foster was wonderfully cast as Ellie Arroway, and that David Morse portrayed her father Ted Arroway in a warm sensitive way - my throat was in knots the whole time. The main thing that keeps bothering me about this picture is that there is no 'end' to her trial in the sense that she cannot prove her trip to the unknown. To see her father (Morse) there was so heartfelt. I keep wanting to give her ways to show everyone that she actually made the journey. I am not much of a sci-fi fan, but this move was good overall, and I will watch it again.
