John K @RT76531593 Oct 16, 2026 The science plotting of this movie is well imagined and brilliant. The rest? Some of it is labored and overly dramatic especially the part of S.R. Hadden, who comes across as pretentious -- a Sagan doppleganger?. Foster seems a little uncomfortable playing an intellectual, while Mathew McConn... irritates me as usual. The end message of Contact is a bit murky to me. There is the tension created by the aethism of the protagonist and the religious faith of Palmer Joss. I know that Sagan was very very atheist, there are quite a few videos of him debunking religion in his pompous manner. And that tension is not resolved in the favor of one side or the other, instead it leads to a truce. But, having said that, I also found the film entertaining. The FX was not overbearing and was just the right dose and came across realistically, and complemented the more spiritual and psychological scenes.

Jodie Foster gives a great performance, and the story explores science, faith, and humanity in a fascinating way. Despite some scenes with impressive special effects, it can feel slow at times; but it's worth watching if you enjoy intelligent movies that leave you thinking long after they end.

Smart move by screenplay writer, narrowing down the focus to just the Jodie Foster character.

IMO "Contact" is a masterpiece of its time and it was only made better by Jodie's stellar performance and unique character See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Apr 6, 2026 A very solid entry into the space film catalog. Foster was really well cast and is excellent throughout. The special effects are outstanding and it is imaginatively conceived and visualised. The plot builds through tension and politics. It’s a really solid film that I enjoyed. Watched on Amazon Prime. See more Read all reviews
