Summary: This is what DVD was made for...
Review: I liked The movie. It was good. To be honest though, I wouldn't be writing this if I just liked the movie. If you have a DVD player, you need to see this disc. It is a prime example of the possibilities that DVD gives you. Not only do you get what you expect - razor sharp video and crystalline sound - you get additional material that makes a very good movie into a GREAT DVD. This disc has full length voice over commentaries from Jodie Foster, as well as the director and effects supervisors. It is like having the film and three 'making of' specials all on one disc. There are also fly throughs of some of the computer models, biographies, and your more typical scene search and the like. The movie itself I'd give three or four stars - it's very good - but the DVD on the whole is a solid five.

Summary: A great version of a great movie
Review: One of the best movies in recent years. Great story, great performances, great effects. Should've gotten more than one Academy Award nomination. Of course, if you're thinking about buying it you know that. The DVD version is terrific. It's got all kinds of special features including commentaries by Jodie Foster, the film's producers and FX supervisors. It's also got clips demonstrating how a number of the FX sequences were put together.

Summary: Maybe you like that sort of thing but I was offended.
Review: I do believe that this film had some measure of intellectual stimulation. I also think that that quality was compromised by the immaturity of the characters. As intelligent people we should not lay blame on others for a short-coming. Contact seems to do just that. An example would be the involved religious question in the movie.This event makes the world religions look selfish and corrupt.There are other examples but you should decide for yourself. I will leave you with this; I love movies, in fact there are only two films which I did not completely enjoy. "Natural Born killers" was the other one. I do hope you will enjoy the show because I cannot.

Summary: Intelligent
Review: Most movies are mindless and brainless when it comes to plot and characters and ideas. This movie has absolutely flawless acting by Jodie Foster (the best actress, not to mention one of the most beautiful in Hollywood. She also deserved that oscar hands-down), flawless direction by Zemeckis and brilliant effects. Not only is it immensly entertaining, but it will make you think. A real film for adults. END

Summary: No words can describe it!
Review: Contact is the best film of the 90s and one of the finest and most powerful motion picture ever made. The DVD is a must see. Jodie Foster's performance is fabulous. The work of Carl Sagan is unforgettable. "No words can describe....I had no idea"... END

Summary: This film makes you think.
Review: Simply amazing story (especially from a scientist). Whether religious or agnostic, whether science fiction fan or not, this is a must see film. The story alone will make this film one of the best science fiction ever but this film adds great special effects and superb acting. END

Summary: At last, another science fiction movie with brains!!!!
Review: Sci-fi movies that actually provide you with issues for conversion after the credits roll are few-and-far-between: Forbidden Planet; The Day the Earth Stood Still; Colossus: The Forbin Project; 2001; just to name a few. In this rarefied atmosphere belongs CONTACT. The story by "who wouda thunk it" Carl Sagon is very good. Jodie Foster completely redeems herself with regards to "Silence of the Lambs." The supporting cast is excellent. Finally, a modern couple who actually discuss deep topics on the wide-screen instead of just having sex!?! Query? Why do scientist always have to be "driven" in every sci-fi movie since 1980. Can't they simply do what they do out of love for doing it - it must be a Hollywood script requirement maybe. The condescending explanation of what a prime number is could really have been left out. Even Homer Simpson, on valium with a Guiness Stout chaser, knows what a prime is. Overall, this is one of the best science fiction movies to come along, not perfect, but one of the best!! The DVD version is magnificent!!! END

Summary: Entertaining yet misleading...
Review: The movie was very good. It was entertaining..err for the most part (there were a few dull moments). The characters seemed realistic, though the main character was too goody goody and nice. As for the story, it had somed great parts in it but was on average just good. One thing was that I was expecting a scifi-ish movie. This was sorta more of a melodrama that made comments about human nature. The story was somewhat fast near the end but the ending was totally disapointing!! They don't tell you anything what so ever. Don't get me wrong. I don't want everything explained to me..in fact i hate it sometimes, but this was just..lame. Personally, it was a good movie that got undeserved raves. END
