Not terribly impressive there. They might want to keep looking.
Yeah. I thought "Contact" was about the WORST film ever, in every way possible. It was amoral -- come on, a man of the cloth (Matthew McConahay) who immediately hops in the sack with the leading gal (Jody Foster) with nary a pause or thought of repentance or regret? The whole story was bleak, and absolutely unconstructive. It was also boring. I remember a clever headline spoofing the classic "Alien" on a review panning "Contact." It read: "In space, nobody can year you snore."
