Once the film is done, you really feel like you have gone on this epic journey with Jodie Foster's character. It's also a very different kind of alien film from most; this isn't a horror or an action film it's more of a mystery/drama. Also interesting that they used clips of Bill Clinton in the film, never really seen a movie use the actual president in a film.
Also, the film is 2.5hrs long but it never drags, there is always something going on to keep you engaged.

Easily a top 10 film for me. Loved it from start to finish.
