The only movie that anyone's been able to talk about this week has been Interstellar, a movie that by all accounts is incredible. But if, like me, you haven't made it all the way to a movie theatre to catch it, you can at least see the lead actor in one of his earlier sci-fi attempts.
Contact is the film adaptation of Carl Sagan's timeless novel of the same name. It's got all of the hallmarks of '90s sci-fi: lots of computer words thrown together until they make sense, the hapless scientist fighting against time, trigger-happy generals, and the obligatory CGI shots of the earth to tie things together.
It's directed by Robert Zemeckis, and whilst not his finest effort, it's a perfect Saturday night in — even if McConaughey is more philosopher than space traveler. [$3 streaming]
