A dedicated astronomer (Jodie Foster) discovers a message sent from a distant planet and manages to decode it's surprising contents.
Excellent sci-fi concept with a strong performance from Foster.
I mostly enjoyed the film. I liked the scientific angle but I thought the religious aspect was too prominent. I also felt that the romance elements did not add much.
I found the later parts disappointing. The film promised so much but ultimately did not fulfil it's potential.
