C.B.,

Good points.

Until today I didn't know "Contact" was based on a book by Sagan. Given Sagan's temperament, the movie now seems doubly confused in it's approach. You are correct to ask for a check back to the book. I would be surprised if Sagan had pushed the academic infighting the way depicted and the McConaughey character indeed seemed an add-on for typical Hollywood "balance". I would have thought Sagan would stick to the wonderment of first alien contact, the fantasy technology, and World reaction- not melo-drama.

Cheers,
