Ash, tell me you saw the end where the bureaucrats discover and admit that she had hours of static recorded. Not just a few seconds/minutes where the pod dropped through. A form of validation.
Exactly. Just enough to hint that what she experienced was real.
Lol, SO agreed. It was a bit anticlimactic, I mean I was really looking forward to Ash's trademarked ballistic reaction to them withholding that info.
Beat me to it. That short scene reframes the entire 3rd act of the movie
@@echoesofmalachor3700 and yet the actions of the committee in obscuring it make complete sense - not just because it allows them to retake control of the situation, but also because the events that destroyed the first machine show that ambiguity and faith can create a powerful and dangerous follwoing.
You can bet they were keeping tabs on Ellie and those around her from them on.
Came here for this! Don’t know how he totally missed one of the most important parts of the movie 😂
I don't understand why this movie is not more widely loved. It's a great film with a stellar cast and, while it has a wide scope and long runtime for a film, it's pace never feels slow or disjointed. I love the interplay with McConaughey's character's faith and Jodie Foster's character arc.
I remember when this movie first came out, it got a lot of flack because of the ending, a lot of people didn't like the alien reveal and how it was her dad, the audience felt like it was a cheap way out, I personally love this movie but I do remember hearing these critiques back then
@@FimbongBass A lot of people didn't understand "Contact". Meeting her father across the galaxy was not a "cheap way out' - it was fundamental to the paradox Ellie Arrroway's quest. Her stubborn career destroying mission to "find something out there" to justify or at least explain the emotional pain she suffered in her youth. Aside from her work, her life was empty and meaningless....but she never gave up on searching for meaning. I thought the movie was way better than the book.
Agreed, great movie!
It's because they advertised this as Jodie Foster alien movie. People expected Alien, so it got bad reviews from people who wanted Independance Day for the most part.
It's underpreciated for sure but also dated and the ending is a bit goofy ngl. The fact they sent out Jodie Foster's character on her own in a spaceship makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever and the whole beach scene with her dad, although touching, is extremely cliche and generic, very 90s Hollywood. Still a good movie though, especially the first half.
"First rule of 'Government Spending': why build one, when you can build two for twice the price?" LOL great line from this movie.
For what it's worth the opening sequence flying through space depicts the extent of our radio signals. As you get further away the older the radio broadcasts get until complete silence depicting the time before radio and just how little our universal imprint is so far
Contact for me is the perfect movie to watch every 10 years and see where I stand on the philosophies 😁
Real
i took my oldest daughter when she was 11 to see this. It was a magical experience for us, which I will never forget. She's 36 now... and her name is Ash.
Thank you for reacting to this movie Ash..I usually don t comment on reactions but this movie was the start of my own personal journey in my life..it didn t change my life, it gave me the affirmation of my direction on life and I still follow the path. Carl Sagan had a tv series called COSMOS in the 80s and that was my initiation. I was 12 years old at that time. We are not alone and had never being alone.
It’s an honour to have shared this movie with you mate ❤️
@@justtrustash Did you miss the scene where they talked about the camera noise recording?
I fear you may have talked over it, and you missed the detail.
When I was a kid, my dad would put me in front of Cosmos whenever I was home from school sick. He'd also read Ray Bradbury short stories for me as goodnight stories.
No were not alone. We're them and Thier here and we're together and all that...ya know.....hey how ya doin 🗡️😇⚖️
@@Lannisen I ve watched this movie in the theater years later and when I saw Carl Sagan name on screen it gaves me goosebumps.
Just for reference, I believe that image of Hitler was the first radio signal ever broadcast into space. So, it was essentially the aliens saying they received the message and sent it back to us as a point of reference and so we would understand.
It was the first, strongest signal able to leave earth. But the signal is to weak to reach other stars, its hidden in the background noise of the universe. Good to see, that Hitler is not our ambassador for other species 🙂
I love this movie. Seen it about a hundred times. I can't believe you did not leave the part in your reaction that the government says they recorded 18 hours of static during her free fall.
I'm glad you said it like this movie spoke to you like the dad. Carl Sagan wrote the original novel Contact and is one of the most influential scientific voices ever. Something I really loved about his books was how well he could communicate, inspire and teach without ever being patronizing
29:03 Yep, that was THE moment for me back when I first saw the movie. We didn't have any cell phones, we didn't even have a pc. Just the good old vhs and the tv.
So I took our photo camera and just took a picture of the tv screen from this moment, so that I could look at this phenomenal picture whenever I wanted.😅
So magical... 🥰
I'm surprised you didn't include that little scene where they "give you something" as proof...where James Wood's character video conferences with that black chick about how the headcam recorded 18 hours of static. How did THAT happen, hmm? Also, I believe in the book they talk about how there were sand specs discovered inside the pod afterwards. But it's all classified and they didn't let those little tidbits of information go public.
You know James Woods' name but not THE Angela Bassett? 🤨
I love this movie because it brings together the rift between atheists and believers.
In the beginning Jodie fosters character doesn't believe in God at all, while at the end, after her experience, she understands how believers feel, and understands our faith. Its quiet a beautiful movie.
yeah but she had proof bro... not the same. thats my biggest problem with the movie. at the end it acts like faith and science are on equal footing and they are not. it feels they just added that so they dont piss of religious folks in the book four people go not just her and its obvious to everyone they took the trip. ... science and faith are complete opposites.
@@DannyCosmos Really? So you have actual proof that the big bang theory is real? Or do you just believe it's real?
@@redemption44 there's slight scientific fact that explain how it would happen and physical evidence (elements) of why it's there in the first place. But if you're asking for video evidence, of course not. Nor will there be. But I think faith in science is based on proof that things happen that can be calculated. Things can be explained. But stories that have been passed down by generations since they've been able, are more often than not, completely false or drastically altered. Look at the kids game "telephone" for a base test run. Sit in a group circle with 10+ people and whisper into the next person's ear a short descriptive story and once the story comes back around, it's different. Now multiply that by thousands of years, and unreliable narrators, what do you get?
With all that being said, if proof can come to light about religion, I would 100,000% be on board to look at it with an open mind. Ignoring evidence based on proof and fact goes against the very nature of science. Hope all have a great day!
@@redemption44 Big Bang is evidenced by background radiation waves detected throughout the universe. Furthest reaches of space, the radiation is dimmer, closer to the center, it’s louder. It proves the universe is still expanding from the Big Bang. This only happens with massive explosions.
Now what’s conjecture is whether or not we will experience a Big Crunch where the universe expands fully then retracts slowly back into a singularity and then explodes into a Big Bang again. This fits in line with E=MC2. That energy cannot be created nor destroyed, just changed. It fits. It also means if the Big Crunch is true, then the universe never had a beginning nor an end, it just constantly exists, explodes and contracts then explodes again. It’s true infinity. It’s beautiful really.
@@redemption44 are you kidding? The whole concept of faith is explained in this movie. You believe something is real( religion) without proof, you could very well be delusional or have a psychotic moment to believe in imaginary friends, but yes, that is faith explained right there. At least she had proof when there is absolutely zero proof of god, of any god.
When she's in the pod, the reason she's giving a play-by-play is because she's not sure if mission control can see what she's seeing or if they can even hear her anymore, but as a scientist, you would want to record each and every detail of your experience (and there's an audio recorder in the pod) so that it can be analyzed in the future, and we can learn more about it.
The beautiful thing about this movie, I think, is that throughout most of the movie, Jodie Foster's character is pretty much "othered" because she's an atheist. But in the end of the movie, she finally knows what it's like to know something with all your heart and not be able to prove it to anyone else. She learns the value of faith, in whatever form it takes.
In this same vein and a bit more sophisticated is ‘Arrival’. The musical score in that one is a character in itself. HIGHLY recommend!
Oo, yeah, Arrival is brilliant - another "emotional sci-fi" like Contact and Interstellar.
@@dlweiss YES! 👏👏👏
A bit more sophisticated? They both deal with first contact and man's reaction, that's about it...
"Special K" is an apt avatar...
Same genre. Different kind of execution, also in terms of emotions. I think Contact operates in deeper territories. I personally found Arrival way too sophisticated - hence less moving or powerful
Awesome reaction to an underrated misunderstood film. In the US when it debuted people viewed it as an attack on organized religion, don't know how it was received in the rest of the world. My jaw dropping moment in this was one not shown in your youtube reaction, where after she left the hearings, they stated her personal flight recorder had over 18 hours of static recorded in what should have been only 3 seconds....so it's proof she went there and came back and it was no hallucination.
21:15 _"You don't know sh!t about science."_ The character of Dr. Drumlin is a scientist. He just knows how to play the political game too.
21:39 _"The person who discovered the alien should be the person who goes."_
I know we're rooting for Ellie, but what if the person who made the discovery was just a complete ass. . .A right son-of-a-b!tch?🤷🏼♂️
9:03 IMO after spending your life listening for aliens and not finding anything is not all that different from sitting in a cubicle in front of a computer working for some corporation (or whatever job) all your life. As not everyone can have a job in the field that they love. So they work in order to make their downtime better. Making sure that they fulfill as many of their dreams on their off hours as they can. . . Because whether they're in a cubicle or listening to aliens, there will always be _off hours._
27:54 _"Why is she trying to explain these things. . . Just enjoy the ride, bro."_ 😄
She's a scientist. She's going there alone, and needs to report back everything that she seeing. She can't rely on only the camcorder picking up what she sees. And I imagine she's also hoping they can still hear her on the radio. And if they can't see, then all they'd have is her attempts at describing what's going on.👩🏼🚀
34:32 Ellie's testimony at this point is not unlike that of someone who had a religious experience. So the way the movie flips things at the end is so fantastic. She desperately wants people to take her on _faith_ that she is telling the truth, while conversely she understands what it's like to be those doubting. I love it!
So glad you enjoyed the movie!
The film was adapted from a Carl Sagan novel - Sagan was the previous generations equivalent to Brian Cox today, but smarter.
The director is Robert Zemeckis who directed Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beowulf, Polar Express and others.
Edit: The film also ends with a note to the audience:
"For Carl"
Unfortunately Carl Sagan died the year before Contact was released in cinemas.
It could be said that Ellie's father represents Carl Sagan to the crew and their generation as a whole - especially how they were brought to appreciate the universe through his efforts to educate the public about it.
The beginning was genius, to show how far our radio and TV transmissions have traveled through space, and foreshadowing the discovery of the message
Hey bro dig this, the first TV transmission was of Hitlers speach at the Berlin Olympics. Hitler is literally the first picture of humanity an alien will see.
Can't make that shit up 😂
@@noelienoelie8425 yeah I know
"The Silence of the Lambs". Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screen Play.
One of my ALL Time favourite Science Fiction movies. 💛
Thank you for watching it Ash ♥️.
Critically acclaimed and beautifully directed & acted movie - heartfelt and yes makes one question faith and what is out there.
That quote has stayed with me since I watched Contact:
“I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.”
🌍🌌💙
Contact is based on the novel of the same name by American scientist Carl Sagan as noted by the end credit “For Carl” as he passed away before the film finished.
Take a close look at the palm trees at the end of the beach when she first arrives. Two trees are straight up and a 3rd is twisted hanging over the water.
Now go back to where she just finished talking to Florida on the ham radio and the picture she drew hanging on the wall of her perception of what Florida looks like. They're the same.
That Legolas looking dude is Jake Busey, he was in Starship Troopers. I believe his name was Ace, one of the main supporting characters.
@@eddietucker7005 Yup, stereotyped just like his Dad, Gary Busey. I don't think I've ever ever seen him play a good guy. But man, he has a look that's really intimidating.
lol I've imagined that aliens received our television broadcasts, including Star Trek. Then, hearing about the Prime Directive, they decided we didn't want to be contacted until we achieved warp drive, and so they've just been avoiding us. ;)
I love that idea!
Think of her work this way... If she lives her entire life and doesn't find anything, she spent her life telling the next generation where not to look... Her legacy lives on...
Exactly my friend!!!
i love that Ellie is based off of two real women that Carl Sagan knew in real life. people with this much passion about science exist and i’m happy to be one of them. :D
I did not know that.. thank you!
They poked fun at the movie on South Park in an episode called Tom's Rhinoplasty, as Mr. Garrison wants to get a nose job, but ends up looking like David Hasslehoff. Following the surgery, Tom asks Garrison if he would like to watch a movie while the stitches heal.
Garrison asks what they have, and Tom tells him they have CONTACT on VHS.
Garrison vomits violently, saying the movie was awful, especially the ending.
Tom then runs to the video store for Disney movies.
Garrison tells himself that he sat through 2 hours of the movie to see the alien, but turned it to her father. Lol!
The 13th Warrior, please.
“Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother,
and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people,
Back to the beginning!
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them,
In the halls of Valhalla!
Where the brave may live forever!”
The 13th Warrior is a fantastic film 🐻🗡⚔️
Super underrated gem! Loved it when I saw it, loved your reaction. I think I remember being pretty drunk one night and watching this. I literally had the tears streaming at the beach scene, lol. It was like a clarifying existential realization of how truly transient and insignificant we all are and the frustrating limitatation of our own mortality. Still sticks with me.
Contact was written by Carl Sagan, world renouned scientist. this was his only novel.
Gotta be a ton of new tech from that machine. And that Primer they discovered, the way they phrase the natural laws, that's gotta be a treasure trove of insights. Very little direct contact, but tons of info.
The Carl Sagan quote her father says on the beach is such an amazing quote.
The radio telescope in the Island is in Puerto Rico and it was once the biggest in the world, sadly it got destroyed by huracane Maria in 2018 after years of no maintainance and it fell recently.
Favorite movie of all time. Thanks for watching!!! Jodie Foster is a two time academy award winning actress. I wouldn’t watch the first one (The Accused-its too disturbing a subject) BUT Silence of the Lambs (my second favorite movie) is where she truly shinned. She was a huge role model for me as an actress growing up…
Not sure if this is true but I heard the significance of the Hitler image is because the 1936 Berlin Olympics was basically one of the first ever things shown live on television, so it's like the 'Aliens' intercepted that broadcast and responded!
They left the aliens motivation out of the movie, they though it would be too hard to understand by the public. If i remember well, in the novel they want to find the secret message in the number pi (3,1416...), invented by some ancient civilization, and they need the help of other civilizations. I remember the dialogue (not exactly quoted):
Alien - PI it's in decimal base, invented by beigns that counted with ten fingers in their hands
Ellie - And you don't have ten fingers, right?
I read the book once but I must say that they explained it pretty well in the movie if not more simplified.
I love this movie. Carl Sagan did a really good job showing the faith vs. science problems we deal with every day. He had an almost childlike wonder that was infectious and makes you think. Great movie!
The music montage at the beginning was a way to illustrate the distance to transmit signal from Earth to the outer reaches of the Solar System and into interstellar space.
Another way of looking at it is the Golden Record that NASA put on the Voyager spacecraft that was launched in 1977. On that record they included information like Earth cultures, populations, amongst other things.
The idea was that IN CASE any "intelligent forms" were to discover the Golden Record, it was a way to show them life on Earth.
Now both Voyager 1 and 2 have entered Interstellar space.
One of my first movies I bought on DVD. Thanks @Just trust Ash for this nice reaction
When that one guy said at the end that their equipment recorded for 8min, it made them think twice about not believing her
The beach scene when she meets the alien is the same beach in pensacola the one she was drawing at the beginning the movie. This movie is amazing. Thank you for the reaction.
Such a grounded movie that tackles very deep stuff.
Did u miss the end when James woods is talking to the chick about how there was 18hrs of static recorded in the classified report? Also the beach scene she goes to is what she made a drawing of in the beginning Pensacola scene. Misses that too on my first watch
I watched this movie when I was in 5h grade back in 1999. It has always stuck with me because fosters character was so compelling and sincere in her wanting to find answers. There were two movies as a kid that made me shed tears and that was Beauty and the Beast and Contact lol
Her soul wasn't coming out of her body, she was phasing between the present and a few seconds into the future.
For all your questions, there is a lot to learn from Ellie's "pure" scientist. But in the end, she learns you can't ignore the wrapper around your brain. We won't be ready as a species until the least of us is ready, and violence, poverty, and hopelessness bring us down as a species, not just as individuals. Faith of any sort is a personal decision, but when that faith mingles with violence, poverty, or hopelessness, some of our greatest failures have resulted.
I dream of a Star Trek universe, but we'll never get there until we take a page out of Battlestar Galactica - we only move as fast as our slowest ship.
It's been a long time since I've seen this, but it's such an incredible story. Before going anything further, I 100% believe we are not alone and also would love nothing more than to have proof in my lifetime. The amazing thing about this movie is aside from the reveal of her contact itself, it does an amazing job highlighting the reaction of society with regards to challenging longstanding beliefs from those who are open minded and those who aren't. I also really enjoyed the additional comparisons you made, Ash. Thanks so much for sharing.
Look up the "Wow!" signal. It was a signal received from space that still hasn't been explained.
Cool, I always thought this was an underrated film.
Was also gonna say when you doing the rest of band of brothers been so long since we've seen you react to that show 🙏🏼
Thanks for this review… what can I say about this film. Back in sep 1997 when I saw it in cinemas with zero expectations (I was - am a film buff, truly passionate about Zemeckis´s pre-Contact filmography (especially after he dropped Forrest Gump)… but for some reason, I had no expectations, I had not watched any trailer, any teaser. I knew it was one of the Summer blockbuster releases for WB… and I think being so unaware of the film laid the ground for a wholesome, impactful experience. On the one hand it´s a film with multiple strokes of filmmaking masterful. Transitions, editing, and a few signature scenes (like the unforgettable mirror shot - which at the same time is an incredible powerful moment). And a script which flows throughout 150 mins. A story full of incredibly powerful themes, values, fears. I was so blown away and moved that I still remember what I felt during the flashback scenes (feeling the fear of losing my father - he cherished the film as much as I did when it was aired on TV), the discovery of the message embedded in the signal, the Hitler reveal, the machine, the test run, Hadden´s final reveals, end of Ellie´s journey scene and (spoilers ahead) the reunion. I found myself weeping and sobbing. I couldn´t really understand who was that figure. Dad, God, a dream, aliens? I just saw the film today, again, in the big screen (in London), in 35mm (not DCP crap!) and I recalled the emotions and feelings I´ve felt about this unforgettable film for 27 years! Bob Zemeckis wouldn´t have been able to pull off (and nail) Cast Away (or Flight) without having filmed Contact.
One of my favourite movies.
it came out the year my daughter was born, I have seen it over and over again dozens of times...
i remember seeing this movie as a kid; you should've seen "The Arrival", with charlie sheen; it was made one year earlier and from what i remember, it was pretty awesome!!!!!! (saw it as a kid also)
Pensacola, Hawaii has the most beautiful beaches.
Ellie didn't leave the galaxy, she just went to the Vega star system, which is only 25 light years from Earth, which is rather close to Earth, as stars go. That's why Vega is one of the brightest stars in the sky. Leaving the galaxy is a whole other level of travel. I could be done with a wormhole, but the distances involved would be immense--many orders of magnitude larger.
That movie got a flaw in that drop scene, where everyone could argue for Alleys story: 1. The portal closed (light off) right when the pod fall through. 2. How did she manage to rip of the seat while falling. 3. Just start it again and send someone else.
The guy you said looks like an Alien is pictured on the wall behind you. He's John Hurt from the movie Alien and was the one who got face hugged in the egg nest that that picture behind you is referencing.
Yes, that is a portal or wormhole, just like in _Interstellar_ . For that matter, hyperdrives in _Star Wars_ also create wormholes to travel through "hyperspace". That's why the graphics look like they do--like a tunnel of light.
21:55 THIS IS GONNA KILL HER. Wooooo boi, that's funny.
What do you mean we? I don't see anyone else with you. My wife has a bad habit of telling people we do stuff together. She'll say: "We replaced the roof last week", when it was only me burning my ass on that roof. So I reply to her: "we? do you have lice?
The streaking in the sky just before she returned were........other pods from......everywhere.
This is one of my all-time favorites, Ashkan! Thanks so much for your reaction. 📡 #JustTrustAsh #RobertZemeckis #Contact #Contact1997
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! You missed the end where it's confirmed. 18 Hours of static!!
Always look out for Matthew Mahoney's Spatula 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction as always Ash have a great day
i love your reactions, man. i'm always looking forward to the next episode
The best scifi there is is that which uses the genre as a means to explore not only technology and space but the human condition, the human experience, and what it means to be human in a very rapidly changing world.
It helps that this movie is based on a book written by Carl Sagan, who is probably one of the greatest humanism and science education advocate to have ever lived. In his book Cosmos, Sagan wrote "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is made bearable only through love."
Side note: the big radio telescope from the beginning, Arecibo, collapsed in 2020 :(
This was a great movie a great adaption of the book and what feels like a really grounded theory of how it would happen. Love it.
Its not quite related, but I'd love for you to see Children of Men, it's probably the best sci-fi of the 21st century, and the 'future' depicted becomes more real every day
This movie is so well balanced of Science vs Spritual ; Fact VS Faith.
Absolutely great movie Ash 🙏🏼
The reason she invites Matthew to come along with her (to get out of here) is not because of his looks. It's because he just did something that she's been dying to do for a long time - smack down her boss in an argument - the asshole. So, she figures the enemy of my enemy is now my friend.
This movie is in my top 5 of all time when it comes to scfi.
This is an action movie, to me. It’s the adventure of discovering knowledge. Only ideas can really inspire awe and a sense of the sublime. The genius of Carl Sagan is that he found a way of conveying the emotional excitement of intellectual discovery in a narrative form. But he never lets you forget that it’s not the people, or the story, or the lights, or the explosions that are essential-it’s the glory of mathematics and physics. Those of us who are neither scientists nor mathematicians are to be pitied for being forever on the outside of true beauty. But this movie is Sagan’s gift to us, a glimpse into the ineffable through the magic of the aesthetic, whose function is to bring universal truth into concrete experience. In other words, we the viewers are like Ellie on the planet being shown reality in a form that won’t destroy our minds. And that reality, the only reality, is pure math.
Wait, Ash, did you just skip the most important scene? The one where they admit there was static for more than just a couple seconds?? I wanted to see your reaction to that!!
This movie is the adaptation of "Contact" by one of the greatest minds in human history, Carl Sagan. If you liked the movie, you HAVE to read the book. And then you're going to want to read Dr. Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". And then get more recent with some Neil Degrasse Tyson who has basically taken up the mantel from an education perspective. NDT actually rebooted Sagan's show "Cosmos". I used to watch the original when I was a kid.
Is it me or does ash miss the scene where the bureaucrats see hours of static footage instead of just minutes? Which implies see really experienced what she told the court.
I love this snarky, badass reaction to one of my all time favorite movies. You rule Ash.
OH MANNNNNNNN I am so glad you watched this movieeeeeeeeeeeeee my frienddddddddddddddddd, love your channel and reactions, this will always remain one of my favorite movie of all time, so glad you like it ... this movie is wayyyy ahead of our time... and time will prove it.
The Carl Sagan novel this was based on is fucking fantastic. He was an incredible person.
This is Carl Sagan's take on the 1967 discover of the first pulsar, by Brit Jocelyn Bell. They were afraid at the time, that it might be alien. Taking credit for another's work? Happened to a friend of mine, his supervisor wanted his name on the published paper, my friend refused. The mad billionaire is like Howard Hughes. Since then, from Earth, we have detected over 5000 planets in other solar systems.
The funny thing is for religion, the bible covers aliens to.
It's somewhere on how god created angels and how they're all different. Each made for a different purpose.
And then there is the 'monsters of the sea below and the sea above'. Some think 'the sea above' means space.
eighteen hours of unaccounted for static. They knew.
I always remember in a South Park episode from years ago. Someone brings up the movie, Contact. Mr. Garrison goes, "Contact? Oh, that was terrible! Waited to see the alien, the whole movie, and it turned out to be her goddamn father!"🤣🤘
I love you are watching this movie. It’s powerful and makes you think
Was fully waiting for Ash to jump out of his seat at the big reveal at the end.
You need to watch Silence of the Lambs with Jody Foster and Anthony Hopkins. Awesome movie. It will def. creep you and your girl straight out.
Next the arrival (Amy Adams)
Awesome movie
Why did you skip the most important part of this, where they said there was hours recorded?
This was based on Carl Sagan's book, Contact. For more with this theme, read Cosmos by Carl Sagan. You'll feel like you are at home in the universe...a voyage through the Human condition and the magic of our brief, and limited perspective.
One of the best sci-fi movies is Arrival (2016), if you haven't seen it I highly recommend to do it.
Found u yesterday
Enjoying ur videos, especially you and hannah together
Ellie is not near a black hole, so there is no time dilation due to strong gravity like in _Interstellar_ . That was quite a different scenario.
The movie commentary talks a bit about the Cult of Arrowway. The people who believe what happened. They were seen at the Capital Building in the last scene and were all wearing the IMC colour Blue.
waiting on that rush hour two ash we waiting for those laughs of yours !
This movie was so captivating when I first saw it. One of my favorite sci-fi movies that could be the most realistic version of contact in modern era is Arrival. Maybe that would be a good reaction video to do.
Ash I'd love to see you check out Big Trouble in Little China. It's not about aliens but an ancient old Chinese magic. It's a great film with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall
"This is going to kill her, bro." Yes, it did, but just not quite as literally as how it killed Drumlin. 😉
8:35 This always crushes my soul into pieces... 🥺😭💔
In _Interstellar_ it was a deep gravity well that caused the time dilation, though, not the wormhole. Traveling near the speed of light can cause the same effect, and this was apparently what Palmer was assuming, but it turned out that the machine created a wormhole, so time dilation did not happen. There was some discrepancy in time, but it happened according to the parameters of the wormhole, which is was not related to what happened in _Interstellar_ . Sure, the idea does remind one of what happened in that movie, but it doesn't happen in this one, as Palmer's assumption is incorrect.
