What about that Jodie Foster movie Contact?

Totally agree. The ending of Contact was just stupidly obnoxious. And I disagree with the list's inclusion of Devil's Advocate. I frankly thought that the ending was the best part of a pretty terrible film.

What about that Jodie Foster movie Contact? Yes. A truly wonderful beginning that not even the annoying Jodie Foster could ruin, raising expectations of the first meeting between humans and aliens. Then, an ambiguous mess. The film ends just when it should have become fascinating. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" had the same problem.
I still want to see the Niven/Pournelle book "The Mote in God's Eye" made into a film. Humans meet intelligent, genuinely alien aliens on their home planet AND GET TO KNOW THEM.
