Contact
 

I was just goofing around on the Internet and found THIS review for Contact. It was down right amusing to read, actually. I personally thought Contact was a great movie. Any thoughts people?

Re: Contact
 

Wow...That is truly a crazy review. I actually liked the movie mainly due to the fact that I have been enthralled with space exploration since I was a kid. I also liked Carl Sagen and thought it represented his original work quite well. The whole pitch between religion and science was interesting and well concieved/plausbale. I did not like the fact that the crazy religious guy with the creepy blond hair was actually able to infiltrate the contraption and blow it up. Even pre-911 security would have had crazy tight security considering the events at hand.

Now that was some good comedy...

I know, really! :laugh:

Re: Contact
 

I'm sorry it might have been a great movie, but I absolutely hated it, I don't really know why, but I'm thinking just because I'm not really fond of Jodie Foster.

lol

Talk about missing the point...

I love Contact, it's one of those movies I watch every year.

Re: Contact
 

I really enjoyed Contact as well. At first viewing in theatre, I was a little let down about the ending but I have grown to love it over time. I wonder if they will ever make a sequel.

Re: Contact
 

All I can say is WOW. I can't really say I thought this movie was a brilliant piece of cinematic work, but it was pretty good. To give it a review like that was a bit over the top in my opinion.

Re: Contact
 

WOW... what a review, i think it has no connection to the movie. i've seen the movie and it is quite good so i think that that review is completely parallel.

Re: Contact
 

Well, what can you say - hell of a review, by a highly intelligent and unbiassed person! NOT...

I enjoyed the movie, granted it wasn't a triple oscar movie, but as with ANY movie, I'm sure I could, if i wanted to waste my energies to cut that deep, pick at implausible bits, incorrect depictions, impossible deeds, inconsitencies, bad wardrobes, inaccurate information, bad science, (and the list could go on and on!), but unlike this reviewer, I watched it in the spirit I'm sure it was made, to be an entertaining movie that was for the most part well done, and not a 10 commandments revelation to convert the masses! Someone needs to get a grip I say..

:confused:

Re: Contact
 

That reviewer obviously dilikes religion. Good movie though.

I would sooooooo love a sequel too. :yup:

Contact (1997) one of the best sci fi thrillers ever made
 

i've seen this movie many times, and it still holds up really well, it's so intriguing, and delightful, jody foster is at her best here, great plot, have ur say.

Contact is a movie that I find myself revisiting time and again, more because of its philosophical and theoretical heft than anything else. Brilliant story telling in which complex ideas are communicated simply enough to be understood by a non-technogeek audience.

It's interesting to see this pop up today. Zemeckis on in the Director's Chair was on and he was talking about it.

He said this was the first movie he had carte blanche on. I don't seem to remember it being an amazing movie.

Note to Execute Producers, don't give Zemeckis carte blanche ever again.;)
