I thought the movie was great. I saw it about a week before it was released at one of those movie 'sneak peaks' they do every so often. Plus, it was part of a double-header: watch Contact first, and then stay to watch Batman & Robin. Needless to say, I didn't stay to watch B&R (already saw it; loathed it).
Anyhoo, Before they mention the "12(?) minutes of static" tape, I felt you were left wondering wether she actually travelled through the Worm Hole, or wether she just had a near death experience (going through a bright passage, seeing a loved one). I thought it was a pretty powerful notion.
And yes, Jodie Foster is certainly
hot, even if she's about 10 years older than I am.
