Really? I liked Contact.
So did I, on the whole. The freak who blew up the first machine was a "Christian Fanatic" as I recall, but acted, looked, (and likely smelled) alot more like an ELF than any Christian I ever met. The only really, really bad part was where Foster meets her dead dad and he tells her that all us sentient creatures (some 10^25 of us or so) are all alone and only each other make it bearable. Translation: "Really Smart and Knowledgeable sentient Beings know there is no God, you foolish earthlings are just finally figuring that out"
Other than that rediculous bullskid the movie was enjoyable.
Yeah, must be because of the insistent Christian bashing.
Hard not to notice the only dangerous fruitcakes protrayed in the movie were whacked out so - called christians
