I think anyone who has ever fantasized about space travel should stop what
they're doing this very instant and drag their ass out to a movie theater.
I'd pay $7 just for the opening sequence! I caught myself _not breathing_
I was so enamoured with the special effects!

I'd quibble about a couple of plot points, but won't do so since not
everyone on this list has seen it yet,
but.....ohgodIcan'tstopmyself.......I would like to have seen Jodie
Foster's character confront Tom Skerritt's character once and for all! I
_still_ have lingering resentment over that one! :-)

And as for Jodie Foster, she was wonderful (as always); however, when we
start dating, I'm gonna get feed that girl for a week! ;-)
