The Dorkest or lamest Space Movie ever!

[JonClarke]

No movie with Jodie Foster in it can be that bad. And I thought it was very good over all. One of the few movies that actually looks at the bigger issues of SETI.<br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

I would have never guessed their were this many Flash Gordon fans. I wouldn't say the movie was lame because as stated, it did live up to the original concept but it is dorky.....even if in a good way.

I'll say it a little differently: no book by Sagan could be bad. I liked Contact the book very much, although I think it was too long. I like what Sagan did with Alien Contact--something that is rarely done well. It was Sagan calling Kip Thorn about a viable method of FTL that started all the scientists looking at wormholes. Kip called his friend Hawking and that whole industry got started.<br /><br />The movie was good because it was so frustrating.
