Synopsis:
A message from outer space is identified by Jodie Foster.

Review:
An interesting concept, and a star vehicle for Jodie Foster. She has this ability to really command a scene, with both sincerity and authority despite features which state otherwise.
The film I feel, does take a long time to get into the main plotpoint, but when it does, the revealation of the initial message and the subsequent government intervention is very interesting.
This film also contains one of the scariest moment in cinema i have seen- it occurs at the initial spaceship launch with an intruder who simply turns towards a security camera.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, this was his first film after his Oscar Winning film Forrest Gump.
