I remember watching this movie and being so glued to this movie and being blown away at how realistic it looked. This scene especially. I was so ecstatic to see that they were about to be travelling into the unknown and when it was sabotaged and the machine was destroyed, I felt crushed inside because they could in no good conscience rebuild the machine after so much money was poured into it. I remember thinking, "This movie better not end like this or I'm going to be really pissed off!" LOL. Then S.R. Hadden came and saved the day, 😁🤞👍. Freakin' love this movie!

Not to mention the late S.R. Hadden was being blamed for the whole situation, as a possible publicity stunt.

+nine9s the sound continuity mistake when the machine blows up, the sound of the exterior sounding in the interior of the control centre. It should have been mixed at duller and defused like sound to make it sound like its outside as it sounded like it all the flying derbies was crashing on the inside which wouldn't be possible with laws of sound physics. Go and play the scene again on what ever format disc you have. Then again simply listening to the scene here. The explosion no way would sound clear with high end freq between the glass of launch-control-centre it looks to be about quarter of a mile away.

Even though the Machine lacks a realistic texture, when it explodes and falls apart, it feels like it has weight to it. The great sound design and mix of different quality cameras (TV, security footage, film) helps with the illusion too.

One of the best movies ever. My favourite scene is the last conversation between Ellie and David when she tells him that the world is what we make it to be. Re opening portals… No. In the distant past the doors were open (in temple’s Holy of Holies) but not by humans. If aliens have the capability to do this, they don’t send instructions to humans, they open the doors from their side. Do NOT try to force the doors open if you want your species to live. How would you react if a burglar tried to sneak into your house? 🤨 Humans are a stupid and arrogant species, that’s why they will perish together with all their technological toys.

How did you like the movie when you saw it again, especially after reading the book?

One of the best sci-fi movie in the 90's that I watched all over again

It's interesting watching the machine be destroyed: 1. The bomb blows up the end of the crane, which held the pod, and that part falls onto the rings, but so far no more has happened. 2. The end of the crane hits one of the rings, bouncing off of it but still causing no noticeable damage. It then hits another ring and is flung off. 3. Now the crane part that was flung away smashes into the base of the crane and this causes enough damage that the entire crane infrastructure begins to come down. 4. The crane hits into the rings, and this causes one ring to finally break, and from there it dominoes into the entire machine being destroyed. There's kind of an underlying point in the film that the stuff humanity does in regards to the machine that is what causes problems for them. In this the machine itself actually stands up to some of the initial damage, and it's the parts that people added that destroy it in the end. For the pod itself, the added chair ends up being destroyed and the camera ends up filming nothing but static. Essentially humanity needed to understand to just let things happen without interfering. In other words... ...they needed to have faith.

the story Sagan used to get his idea across. He wrote a book and created an alien race to get across an idea that clearly has passed by you. The point of Contact was to show that we're all in this together, all of humanity are one and the same - there's no reason to fight each other. Religion and science can coexist, communists and capitalists can coexist, as long as we respect each other. Because we're all looking for answers, all trying to survive.

I always thought it was fitting that the test never took place. It is only when Ellie herself travels in it that it becomes cosmic poetry. Even in her journey the chair becomes dislodged. The mistrust of humans is shown. It's cathartic. Just my opinion.

i bet she was going "man that could have been me up there."

...they find in Pi a code. The end of the book insinuates that the universe has a design, when Ellie talks to the Caretakers they are using a wormhole system built by someone else long before they showed up. The book is anything but anti-religious. The main character is very intolerant of religious views in the beginning, but through her experiences finds that we're all just looking for the truth, and that the truth is not always so black and white. I don't think you read the book...

i love this part because it is so sick

Super futuristic technology yet super old computers lol. Ohhhh the irony

That's suprisingly decent video quality for a KZread video from 2008

What's even better is that he is Jake Busey, son of legendary Buddy Holly impersonator Gary Busey.

At the 2:06 mark you can see the preacher enter on the screen over Ellie’s shoulder, then he keeps popping up in the other monitors as they pan around the security cameras.

Good thing that the parts, which were swept by the explosion, didn't fell on all those people, who were gathered there. It would have been very painfull scene, if the director had decided to put that in the movie.

Reactions of the personel in the control hall suprised me though. The whole thing that cost like an universe amount of money just blew up in pieces, nevertheless they're all like 'okay, it's done now, let's go back to our computers and keep computing...'

Totally makes sense. Challenger exploding while launching to orbit, Columbia disintegrating while reentering Erath's atmosphere for a supposedly routine landing. Professionals like these must keep their duties, shake the emotions the best they can (and have so been trained to do) and get the essential work done, work that cannot be postponed at all, like telemetry of the remaining undamaged/working parts/structures, data analysis and recovery of any information vital for the upcoming investigations. Everything the protocols anticipate and dictate in case of a major or catastrophic failure. Including S&R teams coordination, attemps to contact still living and working people at the affected posts.

Pad 39a is 3 miles from the control tower at The Cape because a fully fueled SV-F1 system was a 3 kiloton chemical bomb. The explosion would have been one kilometer in diameter.

You know I never really noticed it before. They grab his thumb then let go of it instead of breaking it.

They would indeed but it would have made the scene so much more less dramatic. The audience would have been treated to a blacked out control center instead of flying debris actually striking it.
