What can I say, Carl Sagan finally put pen to paper for a science fiction novel, which was wonderful, reminiscent of Nigel Kneals writings.
That this got filmed is great also, a wonderful story of hope and faith in a world rife with technology. It's also a fun look at SETI projects, and politics between science and the government, the government and the world. For good measure a love story, some time travel, good science and then technobabble.
Jodie Foster, as always good, makes a strong lead.
The best use of FX in this film for me was the sequence when Ellies father died.
Good film, full of hope and optimism; a film that somehow never became really big, but definitely deserves more attention than it got.
