Title: What a Bummer!
Review: Will anyone please explain to me why Foster meets her space alien - who turns out to be her own dead father - on a tropical beach? What is this supposed to mean? This film offends just about everyone: science fiction buffs, scientists, atheists, religionists, those who believe in aliens, those who don't, and most of us hoping for alien contact of the Spielberg kind. If you think there's going to be lots of interesting special effects, fast forward the film after the first five minutes to the last ten minutes. This should save you hours of boredom. Also, is this what Carl Sagan wrote? Shame on him if he did! Zemeckis's own Forrest Gump could write a better story! I have a feeling the book ought to be different, but after this movie I'm not interested enough to bother finding out....
