Synopsis

Despite scorn from her colleagues, Dr. Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway devoutly eavesdrops on the universe. And then, one fateful morning, she hears a cryptic signal. As the world's scientists scramble to decode "the message," Ellie must struggle to become Earth's single emissary on a journey beyond theory or experience. Seeking support, she turns to her only ally - and former love - religious scholar and top-level government advisor, Palmer Joss. Separated by very different beliefs, they reunite in their passion for knowledge and truth.

    a handsome film to ponder and discuss

    06 December 2008
    Contact is a well crafted film that is able to penetrate our sensibilities about the unknown. Are we alone in this great mass of space? Jodie Foster Plays the lead character Ellie Arroway with ferocity and rationality, an enigmatic woman of intrigue and beauty. The spiritual and poetic opening to Contact, with it's sound to silence pull out to the distance universe penetrates the senses.The film tries to remain serious with it's "Contact". The script throws in theology, pessimism, optimism, fear, progress, and wonder with great effect. There is a small love story in the sub plot and it fits best low lying. Director Zemeckis does a terrific job at building suspense and intrigue into the deciphering Ellie's discovery. There is political and religious debate as well as ego grabbers in this discovery.
    The special effects are beautiful and well crafted.
