Howard <jhoward@ou.edu> Newgroups: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated Subject: "Contact" the movie/Quality SciFi like B5./A Reaction This is a brief reaction to viewing the movie "Contact" after a special premiere showing. Quite honestly, I would like to COMMAND everyone to see this movie. It is a *science* fiction story of discovery, politics, religion, science, culture, hope, communication, skepticism, and the restoration of faith in science and the miraculous. This movie is very nearly true to Carl Sagan's book (circa 1985), characters, and setting..... only with minor adjustments. I must admit that I am intimately tied to the subject of the movie being an astrophysicist.....BUT, I hope that all can see the value in the movie and story. Whatever you do, see this movie. Watch it carefully and drink in the feeling of wonderment and awe it inspires about the universe. Wow! Joseph W. Howard jhoward@ou.edu Dept. Physics & Astronomy University of Oklahoma
