"Contact" is a captivating movie about a scientist (Jodie Foster) struggling to establish contact with aliens and having a funding problem.
Eventually she does gets her funding, but when N-O-T-H-I-N-G turns up, she's back to square one: no money for research and a belief that most other people scorn.
Then, the signal arrives from outer space, and the movie takes off. It continues about her problems deciphering the message from outer space, her candidacy for becoming a human guinea pig - that's the person who gets to go up in the spaceship the aliens sent the blueprints for - and her amazing journey out into space.
Jodie Foster's acting is terrific, and handsome Mathew McConaguhey (Foster's love interest in the movie) is also good. Not to mention that he gives you something to drool over.
Anyway, I give this movie a five, but only because that's where the movie rating scale ends. I'd really rather give it a ten!
My rating: 5 stars
Rating: PG-13
