- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025If I'm lucky, I remember to watch this movie every year; it has no flaws. From the amazingly creative intro-to Alan Silvestri's wonderful score CONTACT doesn't miss a single opportunity to hit it out of the park. Jena Malone's performance is so beautiful.
Hmmmm...sigh....I wish that more uplifting films in the Scifi realm were released.
We need some good dreams, now, more so than ever before.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025i consider this to be one of the best movies of all time.
we need more positive, uplifting alien movies. i am tired of all the gore, violence and utter destruction ones that speak more to the shadow of humans than it speaks of the consciousness of more advanced beings than us.
a pickpocket sees a holy man- all he sees are pockets
we see what we are looking for
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024Contact is a gripping science fiction novel that masterfully blends scientific curiosity with profound philosophical questions. The story, centered around the discovery of extraterrestrial communication, is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. Carl Sagan's expertise in astronomy and his ability to weave a compelling narrative make this book a standout in the genre.
The characters are well-developed, particularly the protagonist, Ellie Arroway, whose journey is both personal and universal. The exploration of faith, science, and the human desire for connection is handled with depth and sensitivity.
However, the pacing can be a bit slow at times, and some sections are heavy with technical details that might be challenging for readers without a strong interest in science. Despite this, the novel's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses, making it a highly recommended read.
Overall, Contact is a thought-provoking and engaging book that deserves four stars. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and the human experience.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021Robert Zemeckis’ 1997 film, “Contact,” adapts Carl Sagan’s 1985 novel of the same name. Sagan and Ann Druyan had begun work on the film in 1979, but it stalled so Sagan published the story as a novel instead. The story focuses on Dr. Ellie Arroway (played by Jodie Foster), who receives funding from billionaire industrialist S.R. Hadden (played by John Hurt) to perform her work for SETI at the Very Large Array in New Mexico. Arroway discovers a signal coming from Vega that is a rebroadcast of the 1936 Summer Olympics, the first signal strong enough to leave the Earth, reach an alien planet, and then be rebroadcast. The signal also contained 63,000 pages of data. Now working at a top-secret facility, Arroway deciphers the data which appears to contain plans for a machine that will transport a single occupant. Arroway hopes to pilot it, but a religious philosopher (played by Matthew McConaughey) argues that she does not adequately represent the human race. Unfortunately, religious terrorists ruin the pursuit of knowledge and destroy the machine along with its pilot, Dr. David Drumlin (played by Tom Skerritt). Fortunately, S.R. Hadden had funded the secret construction of a second machine, which Arroway uses to contact the aliens from Vega.
The film is a great work of science-fiction, more meditative and thought-provoking than the big sci-fi action films of the late 1990s. Sagan, a scientist and science communicator who encouraged people to see the beauty in the universe, crafted a story that delves into some of the philosophical ideas he touched on in his other works, such as “Cosmos.” Zemeckis brings just the right amount of heart to the story, humanizing the characters so that anyone can identify with them and their experiences as he finds the emotional core of the story. The boldest idea of all is that this film never shows the aliens. They communicate with Earth using our own signals, mathematics, and images that will be familiar to the people so that there’s never a worry about the aliens looking fake or dated or just being people in make-up. It’s a film about the journey of discovery and the joy of learning. That said, Zemeckis also created revolutionary effects for the late 1990s, but incorporated them in a way that drives the story rather than overrunning it. The effects hold up well for their time, too, and add to the sense of mystery. An all-around great work of cerebral science-fiction.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025So many people don’t… Or won’t understand this film. I want to rewatch it every few years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gibt es Nachbarschaft im Plattenbau?
Sind wir allein in der öden Weite des Alls? Sind wir der unbeabsichtigte Störfall "Leben" im beabsichtigten "Nichts"? Existiert auf der Erde Leben wegen der gegebenen Umstände oder vielleicht ganz im Gegenteil TROTZ der gegebenen Umstände? Setzt sich also Leben überall im Raum selbst gegen widrige Umstände durch? Gibt es eine übergeordnete Macht oder ein All umfassendes Gesetz, das das alles steuert?
Solchen und ähnlichen philosophischen Gedankenspielen widmet sich die Aussage von "Contact". Obwohl unterhaltsame Sci-Fi mit gutem Mix aus Action und stilleren Momenten, basiert der Film doch auf der Vorlage Carl Sagans und damit auf dem Werk eines erwiesenen Fachmannes auf dem Gebiet der Astronomie und der damit ganz zwangsweisen Beschäftigung mit philosophischen Aspekten wie den eingangs genannten. Die Story basiert also nicht auf den Gedanken eines Fantasten oder Utopisten sondern auf den Überlegungen bzw. Schlüssen eines Menschen, der sich professionell und ernsthaft mit dem Wesen des Universums auseinandersetzte.
Man muss aber beileibe nicht tief ins Grüblerische versinken, um sich von "Contact" als überdurchschnittlich gutem Sci-Fi-Movie einfach nur gut unterhalten zu lassen. Die Geschichte hat Zug, ist spannend und sowohl vom visuellen Eindruck als auch von den akustischen Effekten erstklassig umgesetzt. Mir persönlich ist die Rolle des penetrant mahnenden Religions-Vertreters mit ständig erhobenem philosophischem Gott-ist-die-Antwort-Zeigefinger viel zu sülzig, belehrend und weltfremd angelegt. Jodie Fosters nüchtern aufgeklärt wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise an die Frage aller Fragen entspricht da weit mehr meinem eigenem Denken - aber das ist Einstellungssache und bleibt jedem unbenommen.
"Contact" regt aber sicherlich bei aller guten Unterhaltung dazu an, nach dem Film für sich selbst mal darüber nachzudenken, was denn da Draußen noch sein könnte außer viel luftleerem Raum und Ansammlungen toter Materie namens Planeten. Ich tendiere dazu, dass sich auf der ein oder anderen Welt gerade Andere die selbe Frage stellen...
Die Frage, ob es bei der bekannten Unmenge von Planeten irgendwo anders auch Leben gibt ist für mich vergleichbar mit der Frage, ob es im Plattenbau Nachbarschaft gibt. Wir leben halt nur noch sehr isoliert in unserer Wohnung namens Erde und sind technisch noch nicht fähig, mal rüberzugehen und zu klingeln. Im Moment können wir höchstens - mittels Radioteleskopen - das Ohr an die Wand halten und durch dicke Wände nach drüben hören.
