Contact is a good 'space' film. The opening sequence is brilliant; the zoom-out shot from Earth to Universe. Pretty impressive. Also when Elie Arroway travels to Vega and beyond, the shots of the planets and stars, although viewable for only a couple of seconds are breath taking. "Poetry!..." Damn right it is. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

I agree. <br /><br />Contact didn't get the raves or draw the crowds - not enough "shoot-em-up" scenes; but for graphics and the dream of a peaceful conquest of space and time - this one takes top honors.<br /><br /><font color="black">Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. <br />Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. <br />Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science? <br />Carl Sagan</font>

Definately a great movie, but I liked Sagans' book even more.<br /><br />
