Just watched the movie "Contact" based on the book by the late great Carl Sagan. It's a great film with a stunning ending. If you watch it DO watch it right through to the very ending, therwise you'll think it's just another science fiction movie. Stunning. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118884/Be careful with the imdb reference to avoid any spoilers about the ending! |

Seen it multiple times over the years. It is stunning and is one of my favorites!  |

Yeah, it's just fantastic I've seen it twice now. It's also a great tribute to Carl Sagan

Loved that movie. Jodie Foster was great in it. At the time I watched it I didn't know the name "Carl Sagan" either, unfortunately, so I didn't know the connection. That's pretty cool.  |

I'm the only person I know who has watched it to the end. I found it fascinating, mind-blowingly beautiful. I've seen it twice now and am ready for a repeat.

I've seen it once, many years ago, but haven't forgotten about it. Definitely a worthwhile watch. Highly recommendable.

Prometheus and Interstellar were well done as well. Recently I watched "The Arrival". That was a fantastic movie! Once in awhile Hollywood puts out a real "gem". They are few and far between though!  |

Good film and a long one but still not enough. Plenty of "NO!" moments as I recall.
Well played by all the actors.

That galactic Pensacola scene has been so close to me for some reason I cannot explain. I'll try to "phase" there one day.
