Must Hollywood alter everything?

You know come to think of it the last good science fiction film that I can remember was the remake of Lost In Space I thought they did a really good job with that movie.

I loved the book for timeline too, but am afraid to see what they have done with that.

The only resemblance to the book is the character names, otherwise it is almost completely changed. It is not worth even renting.

For all you people who like contact, I have some cool trivia, and possibly will get pictures for you guys. The low-level training route we fly southwest from Albuquerque is called the petrified forest low-level. The third turnpoint takes us right across what is known as the VLA valley. VLA are the very low frequency antenae they used in the making of contact. It is a really cool series of antanae that are on railroad tracks. There is a hub in the middle, with tracks coming out at 90 degree arms from the middle. They have inbetween tracks that connect the four arms. So they can move the antenae around as needed for maintenance in the hub station, or to reposition for different signal patterns. I fly over that spot three to four times a week at 300'. It is ususally at night unfortunately, but the next time it is day time, I will have the pilot do a few orbits for time on target "timing" to get some pictures. That is what we call it when we want to check something out. It is often done above Jane Fonda's house near Taos at very low altitudes at 2:00 AM. We love getting the complaint letters from her attourney

I did like 2nd and 3rd too. I think most people were disappointed because either a) they didn't go in the direction they "expected" or b) they didn't come close to understanding the story. I think they were brilliant and was very happy that they didn't go in the direction I expected. I consider a movie good when I'm still "chewing on it" for weeks to come (like I did with the last one trying to understand it).

As for Keanu's acting ability....I don't necessarily disagree (I think Carrie-ann Moss was even worse)... bit i'm thinking more of just the story itself.

completly agree....

there are those out there who proclaim a movie bad if they dont like the effects
