Over deze film

"We are not alone..." Two-time Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster and Hollywood's brightest new star, Matthew McConaughey, shine in this spellbinding drama of a dedicated astronomer's quest to make first Contact. Despite scorn from her colleagues, "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 top-level government advisor, Palmer Joss . Separated by very different beliefs, they reunite in their passion for knowledge and truth. From Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Sagan's best-seller comes the story of a visionary scientist's unshakable conviction that somewhere in this boundless universe an intelligence yearns for Contact.

As an Astronomer myself I love this movie and Jodie foster plays the part so good an Astronomer searching for life out there! The Science v religion theme makes you wonder and a trip to Vega in a worm hole means light isn't the fastest thing in universe. Life is out there! Buy this film now!

One of Jodie Fosters finest films. I've watched this countless times and never get bored.

Really gripping, v. Different approach to a si-fi movie.
