I agree with South Park on this one - SPOILERS WARNING!

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2004)

Contact focuses on Ellie (Jodie Foster) an astronomer who receives a message from outer-space. She subsequently builds a machine from this message in order to make contact with the "aliens". This movie is just way tooo long and unengaging. It attempts to analyse issues relating to Science vs Religion - but it only sugar coats the issues. I agree with the "South Park" view on this film where Mr Garrison (after receiving a nose job surgery) vomits after his doctor mentions this film. He then remarks "I had to sit through that whole movie to find out that her father was the alien!".... So true! This movie overstays its welcome - and when it reaches the conclusion - it is unfulfilling and annoying. Yawn (or vomit - whatever the case may be)!
