Title: One of those that makes you think
Review: This movie is really slow to begin with and you wonder why you've been watching for so long. The payoff comes fast and furious as a transmission from outer space quickly transforms the quirky character played by Jodie Foster into a world renowned scientist. I don't know who plays the eccentric billionaire, but he steals the show. James Woods is a very formidable antagonist and will not give in throughout this movie. He has national security in mind and does not budge on any of his stances through the movie. You really begin to hate Tom Skerrit's character until he gets his final desserts.Carl Sagan is a famous atheist, but this movie, which has been adapted from his book of the same name, is strangely a search for faith and a god we can all relate to. Ironic, huh?
