“The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space."
Did you ever look up at the stars in the nighttime sky and wonder what else, or who else, might be out there?
Well that’s just one of many exciting and controversial questions our characters are forced to face this week, in a little 1997 Robert Zemeckis-directed sci-fi drama based on the 1985 novel by Carl Sagan, Contact, starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey!
So join us as we journey to the stars to find out if Contact is an overlong preachy science fiction bore that overstays, or if it makes us want to journey through the universe by effectively shutting down the naysayers with its accurate science and healthy balance of controversial themes to prove that we’re not in fact alone in the vastness of the cosmos!!
"I'm okay to go!"
