Convinced of the existence of extra-terrestrial life, she uses satellites to sweep the stars for evidence. When she receives the transmission of what seems to be a blueprint from another species for the construction of a spacecraft, she has to fight for the right to lead the ship's maiden flight to meet the alien life forms. She finds herself working with her former lover, ex-priest Palmer Joss (Michael McConaughey), now a governmental advisor. Review: A perfect film - An excellent film with a terrific central performance from Jodie Foster. I watch this film each year, and have done so since 1997. A sci-fi classic Review: Underrated masterpiece. - Contact is a beautiful, thoughtful movie. So intelligently scripted, directed and acted. Carl Sagan’s novel is thought provoking, questioning the meaning of life in such a way that, though not providing answers, does not really let you down either. Whilst the movie loses the wonderful concept of Ellie finding an intelligent message in her calculation of Pi, it still leaves you with a feeling of amazement at the universe, and the nature of being. The conflict of faith and science is intelligently and fairly dealt with in a way which leaves both sides of the argument room to explore. Ellie’s realisation which questions her certainty that “faith” is unscientific and hence invalid, is shattering. This really is a greatly underrated movie which would appeal to many people who might not normally watch science fiction. Jodie Foster’s performance is amazing. I cannot believe that she was overlooked for any Oscar mention for this. It is a tour de force. She is well balanced by Matthew McConaughey as an edgy, forward thinking priest. This is a beautiful blu ray presentation. I have watched it many times and the film always leaves me uplifted. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Angela Bassett, David Morse, Geoffrey Blake, James V.
