Robert Zemeckis’ epic adaptation of Carl Sagan’s book CONTACT is arguably one of the greatest science fiction films ever made. Taking nearly 20 years to get produced, this emotional roller coaster combines the truest science and the deepest beliefs into the depths of space. Jodie Foster gives a(nother) career defining performance as Dr. Ellie Arroway, a SETI scientist who is determined to uncover the truth and prove that extraterrestrial life exists. Incorporating eight different VFX companies, the grand scale of this existential masterpiece is on par with Steven Spielberg’s CLOSE ENCOUNTER OFTHE THiRD KiND and clearly inspired Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR and Alfonso Cuarón’s GRAViTY. Throw in some stunning performances by Matthew McConaughey, John Hurt, Tom Skerritt, William Fichtner, Jake Busey and Angela Bassett, and you won’t want to miss this RARE Widescreen 35mm presentation. Rated PG. 149 minutes.
