Contact (VHS, 1997)

This version of "Contact" is the 1997 release in a NTSC VHS format. Jodie is definately the star and does a fine job. I'd always heard that she was quite intelligent and it shows. Script, actors, extras, make-up, costumes, props, special effects, etc. were all 1st class. This sci-fi movie is in a class apart from others. It definately borders on the possible (not very probable but possible). It's really worth viewing - probably by the entire family. Highly recommended. As with all films, parents of school age children should probably watch it first to verify it's OK. Please note that my reviews are made based on the product.

I love a movie that makes you sit up and take notice..is there life on other planets?? That's up to individual belief, but for my two cents I say yes! Sooner or later if we keep shooting something up there they will shoot something back..I just hope as in this fun film they end up being friendly theys and not the other type..see the remake of "War Of The Worlds" directed by and starring Tom Cruise...Jody Foster plays a young genuise interested in science especilaly Aliens..her Father encourages her interests and this common interest bonds Father and Daughter closely..when she loses her Daddy unexpectedly she attempts to reach him via their common interest. After she grows up she makes contacing other life forms her lifes mission..Foster takes us on a fun thrill ride of emotion, edge of your seat thrills and yes some romance is thrown in for good measure..This is a great movie for lovers of science, science fiction and Alien invasion groupies..I give this film 5 out of 5 bars..it is a long ride though so sit back put up your feet and enjoy all of the thrills this movie has to offer!

This movie was emotionally recommended and exceeded all expectations. I did not expect it to so deeply affect my imagination.
Great choice of actress and actors. Jodie Foster delivers a convincing portrayal of her character.
Amazing!!

Contact is a great movie to have on dvd. I bought the movie as a Christmas gift for my father and he was happy to receive it.
