Fri, 3 Apr 2009 12:22:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author toiletoctopus - Back in the year of 1997 A.D., I saw Contact in movie theaters, after being entertained by the thirty second preview that was blanketed across network television. I'm sure that aliens up in space are getting annoyed by all of the transmissions for...

mvie mu-1078021: A great mix of modernism, sci-fi, technology and theism

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:59:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - "Contact" is a grand scale Hollywood film that tries to please everyone with its "neutral" stance on humanity and theology versus science. In fact, it tries so hard to be a work of genius philosophy it nearly collapses under its own weight. What makes it...

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 06:55:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author basesurge - Back in the 70s there was a guy, a scientist, named Carl Sagan. I think he was the first star-scientist --at least since Einstein. Sagan wrote a number of books on cosmology and created and hosted a PBS series on life,...

Sun, 19 Feb 2006 20:25:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author captaind - Andromaeda Strain. Silent Running. If seeing the names of those two great but slow-moving science fiction movies has you yawning, don’t bother with Contact. For those of us who like our sci-fi to be thought provoking as much...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - When I first heard about the Let’s See You Review This Write-off being hosted by lynus, I thought it sounded very interesting. Each participant picks someone else taking part in the write-off and picks a movie for that person to review...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ecn71270 - Based on the only work of fiction that "Cosmos" creator Carl Sagan ever wrote, the 1997 science fiction drama CONTACT is a hugely ambitious addition to its genre. Sagan's vast imagination, which was unfortunately ended by his untimely death during the...

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 02:43:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jackai - Although Contact may not muster enough vision to keep company with the mother of all sci-fi films, 2001, it possesses something the latter sorely lacked: a character to lend the film its emotional center. The closest 2001 ever came...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jankp - There’s a scientific term I have no idea how to spell that means with all things being equal, the simplest explanation is the most believable…or something like that, so my review of Contact will hopefully express that belief. I was not blessed...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - For those of us who like have some fact mixed in with our science fiction, the film Contact, adapted from the novel by the late Carl Sagan was a breath of fresh air. You won't see exotic aliens, nor spiffy spacecraft nor gunbattles in the outer...

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 07:32:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author doog2k - While Independence Day and Men In Black are no more than updates of ‘5Os monster movies, Contact offers a more sophisticated take on the alien question.

Fri, 19 Oct 2001 11:35:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - Maybe I just can't be objective about this movie. Is that such a terrible thing? The best movies are supposed to trigger strong emotions. Using that criteria, Contact must top my personal best movies list. Yet it somehow managed to be a blip in...

Sun, 22 Jul 2001 20:19:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - No it's not a story about going into space and killing aliens, it has nothing to do with that LOL. A great and original story about learning what it means to be human and finding oneself. The scene in space 3/4 of the way through is probably one of the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author degeneration - Contact is a rarity these days among sci-fi films, as to get the most out of this film, you are actually required to leave your brain turned on!

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 12:31:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pshan - The title sums up my opinion of this movie perfectly. I had read this book when it was first published years ago. This movie collapsed several characters into Palmer Joss, and the pod was for 10 passengers instead of just one, but in spite of the...
