Contact (1997)

Great Sci-Fi

I can sought of understand why this movie has mixed reviews. If you love Sci-Fi and are in the mood to watch a movie that you have time to concentrate on without interuption then I think you will really enjoy it. If you just want light entertainment this is not the right movie to watch.
For me this was a great movie. It troubles me that many scientists put so much faith in mans discoveries, ideas, and theories based on a few experiments and trusting their interpretation of hopefully undoctored results (almost blind faith), yet anything undiscovered or not yet understood simply cannot exist (We really have not changed that much from the middle ages). I see so much bogus science, I have as much faith in science (at least other people's science) as I do in life after death, God, etc.
So for me it was nice to see this scientist find herself in a cunundrum, sadly very few scientists ever ask themselves what do they really know
