Review of Contact

Contact (1997)
7/10
Excellent concept but does not fulfil potential
5 January 2022
A dedicated astronomer (Jodie Foster) discovers a message sent from a distant planet and manages to decode it's surprising contents.

Excellent sci-fi concept with a strong performance from Foster.

I mostly enjoyed the film. I liked the scientific angle but I thought the religious aspect was too prominent. I also felt that the romance elements did not add much.

I found the later parts disappointing. The film promised so much but ultimately did not fulfil it's potential.
