David S.,

Sorry, but I found "Contact" to be annoying as it had such promise, but was spoiled by the main subplot of the contrived conflict between Foster and Tom Skerritt, in which the character dismisses Foster's work and then tries to take credit, and the anticlimax of the segments on the other world in which Foster meets her dead father on a dreamy beach who has the message, "Though you've spent $100 Trillion, many lives, and traveled 400,000 Light Years to get here, I just wanted to say your species is not ready for any meaningful message."

It was a well-made movie, and had some good casting- enjoyed the all too brief John Hurt appearance, but was in the end there were too many cliches and missed opportunities.

In a somewhat similar theme, I appreciated, "The Arrival" much more.

Cheers,

Bambi B
