Contact # # 1/2 (1997, Warner, $100 range; DVD , $25; Dolby Digital laser disc, $40; dts disc, $50): Ambitious, relatively spiritual and always displaying the characteristic craft of its maker, director Robert Zemeckis' follow-up to Forrest Gump presents Jodie Foster as a life-long science prodigy who makes contact with intelligent extraterrestrials, only to have her ambitions oppressed by a former lover (Matthew McConaughey) and her mentor (Tom Skerritt). As ever, Foster conveys professional drive and vulnerability with the best, but the movie falls short on the human angle. Worse, a windy finale weakens the effect of an impressively staged heavenly light show that had previously helped to build some climactic momentum.
