One of the all-time best book translations
I read this book about five or so years before it was made into a film, and I remember the murmurings about a movie shortly after I finished the book. As soon as I saw that Jody Foster was attached, I prayed she would stay with it. Because she is one of those that (at least until lately) when I se... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1697 movies items)" Critically speaking Contact, got decent reviews. Audiences felt it was okay at best. I would have to say, it’s decent, but somewhat ponderous. If you can set, through it’s nearly 150 minute running then you’re made of sterner stuff. Jodie Foster’s character Dr. Ellie Arroway discovers an alien signa, she wants to make contact with them. Others don’t want her to. The film, reignited interest in Carl Sagan’s novel.And then there is the film’s ending."
