This movie is one of my favourites of all time although it has met with some very cruel and harsh reviews. It seems the lot of science fiction movies to receive so much grueling criticism. Contact is an overwhelmingly powerful and emotional movie. It is capable of stirring the human soul and requires the viewer to have a real sense of vision without which the movie seems pointless. It cleverly requires you, as the movie-goer, to have the one thing that resurfaces over and over throughout the film... belief in the values of human society, be that a scientific belief or a spiritual belief. A viewer with neither would find the movie dull and directionless, but to those with the curiousity, vision, imagination, and passion to ponder the question, "are we alone? ", this movie is one that will profoundly affect you. Brilliantly done.
