Review of Contact

Contact (1997)
3/10
Boring, pretentious, overrated...
28 October 1998
This way overlong movie gets its point across about halfway through and then continues for the rest of the movie to hammer it home. Over and over in monotone.

It tried to be an intelligent sci-fi movie, and I respect that, it isn't done enough these days. But it failed, and although I give it an A for being daring enough to try that route, it gets a D for execution. It evolved into a preachy, simplistic, unrealistic, and boring film.

It seems like a lot of folks like it simply because it tried to be intelligent, but put rose colored glasses on when looking at the result.
