Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.
Example: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

New input case for you: contact is a nobly intentioned but ultimately unsatisfying adaptation of carl sagan 's only novel .
it details the circumstances surrounding the first clear sign of intelligent life in outer space and their effects on the life of a young and idealistic radio astronomer named ellie arroway ( jodie foster ) .
we first meet ellie at a giant radio telescope in puerto rico , where she is part of the seti ( search for extraterrestrial intelligence ) project .
her research is quickly killed , however , by her highly political david drumlin ( tom skerrit ) , who disdains " pure research " in favor of science with " commercial applications .
she goes in search of private funding and is turned down at every step until she pitches her project to a corporation run by the mysterious s .
r .
hadden ( john hurt ) .
then , with that money just about to finally dry up , ellie is sitting out in the desert near the very large array in new mexico when she hears over her headphones a very powerful pulsing radio signal .
in the movie 's most exciting and believable sequence , ellie and her coworkers determine that the signal has to be coming from the star vega .
at first the signal appears to be just sequences of prime numbers , then it turns out to be a tv signal of the berlin olympics bounced back to earth from 50 years before .
further decoding , with hadden 's help , reveals another layer to message , containing detailed plans for a massive and complex machine .
it appears that the machine is a transport that will allow one person to travel to the aliens ' home world .
of course , the big question becomes " who gets to ride it ?
" ( right after " who 's gon na pay for this thing ? " ) . to boil it down , ellie gets denied the seat in the machine because she bluntly acknowledges her atheism , while drumlin gets to go because he rather insincerely professes his deep religious faith .
drumlin is killed and the machine destroyed when religious fanatics bomb the launch platform ( apparently to keep " godless science " from talking to god , or something like that ) .
then hadden reappears with startling news .
he has secretly constructed a second machine off the coast of japan and has reserved the ride for ellie , in whom he has taken a rather paternal interest .
ellie boards
the machine and is transported through some kind of wormhole to a dream - like place that looks a lot like waikiki beach before they built the hotels , where she meets the aliens who take the form of her late father ( david morse ) .
when she returns home , no one believes her .
she was not even gone for one second , they say , even though she remembers being gone for 18 hours .
her story is officially discredited , although believed by a large segment of the public ( who do n't even have to know that her computer records of the trip contain nothing but static . . .
eighteen hours worth of static ) .
there is a lot to like about contact
so i will highlight those points first .
ellie arroway is a well - rounded character portrayed by one of the best actresses currently working .
neither the character nor the performance has the same depth as clarice starling in silence of the lambs , but that 's a tough standard to meet .
ellie is interesting in that she is woman defined by a strange array of father figures .
her real father is an idealized movie dad who does nothing in the film but love his daughter unconditionally .
drumlin comes across as a distant stepfather to whom ellie is like an irritating teenager who wants to use his toys to get into trouble .
hadden obviously has affection for ellie , but in the end he seems to see her as his creation , nothing more than his favorite piece on the chess board .
even palmer joss ( matthew mcconaughey ) , ellie 's love interest , takes a paternalistic interest in ellie , seeing her as a misguided person who needs protection from her own impulses .
the film is technically impressive , especially in the scenes where the message is first received and during the destruction of the first machine .
the part of the film dealing with the message has the best presentation of real science in a film since the andromeda strain .
the film falls apart when dealing with its central theme , the dichotomy between science and religion .
this is a very real debate but contact boils it down to a simplistic level that never really touches on the actual issues involved .
the film presents science pretty well ( until the end ) so the real problem stems from it presentation of religious faith .
religious people are presented as shallow caricatures .
rob lowe plays a ralph reed clone named richard rank ( very subtle , guys ) , the voice of the religious right .
another religious figure is the fanatic who blows up the first machine ( jake busey ) .
the only really fleshed - out religious person , palmer joss , is supposed to be a minister of some sort , but his actual faith is left pretty vague .
i ca n't even say for certain that he was supposed to be a christian .
all we know is that he dropped out of the seminary and obviously has no qualms about pre - marital sex .
the film drops the science ball at the very end , when ellie appears to assert that there are some things even scientists must take on faith .
in a day and age when the theory of evolution is denounced by the religion right as an atheist " religious " doctrine , this is exactly the wrong message to send .
in a movie dealing with issues of science and faith , the last thing you want your scientist character to do is abandon the principle of scientific skepticism .
what ellie should have said was , " you should n't believe me . not without evidence , and i do n't have the evidence .
i know what happened
but you should n't take my word alone .
"
that is the voice of science speaking .
the character of david drumlin is another problem with this film .
his attitudes toward pure research project seem out of place for a person in his position .
also , his profession of " faith " before the selection committee is so nakedly and transparently insincere that only a pack of idiots should have fallen for it .
the last big problem is with the use of real personalities in various roles .
the media figures , such as bernard shaw and jay leno are n't so bad , in as much as their participation was voluntary .
the use of bill clinton , however , should give anyone pause .
first of all , lifting the image of a sitting head of state and inserting him into a fictional story line , thus using his words outside of the context in which they were spoken , is just plain creepy .
also , using the real president places this film between 1993 and 2001 , forever dating it .
people watching this film in the future will say , " hey , this never took place during clinton 's term .
" this bit of unreality will jar people out of their suspension of disbelief . also , the level of technology portrayed in the film is too advanced to take place before the first decade of the next century .
better to have had a fictitious president played by an actor or no president at all .
the film does raise an interesting question , although it never develops it in a satisfying way . if we were picking an emissary to send to an alien culture , would an atheist be automatically disqualified just because ninety percent of the population of the world professes a belief in god , or at least some form of supernatural creator ?
personally , i would hope not , since religion is basically an opinion , a form of ideology .
i would not want any form of ideological test for such an import task .
