Everyone needs to stop flaming. It's rather annoying. @Everyone, shut the hell up, and appreciate this movie, because it's probably one of the only good ones that's come out, and will come out, for the next 100 years. Everyone can believe what they want to believe, and in no way, will typing random facts back and forth at each other change their mind. Their beliefs are their beliefs, and if they want to change them. Perception is perception, so if you perceive reality to be reality, then it is.

look...with all due respect for your views-- you REALLY need to get educated before you debate something. arguing from a standpoint of what seems to be a serious dearth of general knowledge of basic science holds NO CREDIBILITY. here are 2 of my favorite quotes for your edification: ''a fool will believe whatever he wants to believe, no matter what facts are presented him.'' and the second: 'my mind is made up-- don't confuse me with the facts!' :) i wish you well, my friend...
@iorixs So THAT'S completely implausible (even though there's years of carefully analyzed evidence), but an invisible man looking down at all life on the planet, judging your every move, and opening grand gates to a cloud world of ghosts with wings for you to be a part of (AH, but don't be naughty!) isn't?
1 i dont trust the sincerity of the people who present this evidence. like the evidence they claim they have for caveman. some bones, a lot of plaster and a great deal of fantasy, wishful thinking and deliberate lies "The entire hominid (the so-called 'ape-man' fossil) collection known today would barely cover a billiard table. Ever since Darwin... preconceptions have led evidence by the nose in the study of fossil man." John Reader,
@iorixs There's zero evidence for anything supernatural. So you would believe something with zero evidence over another thing with countless evidence simply because you don't "trust" them? Also, Darwin was no where near our time. To date, there's hundreds of neanderthal fossils. Also, tell me your reasoning for believing in a mystical afterlife which I described? Religion was first created to explain the universe. When there was no science. Religion is no longer needed.
@iorixs Actually scientists ask us NOT to trust them - thats why they provide evidence for us to independently verify instead. So thats why we don't need your likely misrepresentation of the evidence either (because independence means we dont' have to take anyones word, even yours). You will not understand this but it only took me a few seconds to write it, so what the heck.
@iorixs keep lying for Jebus. The Megalosaurus was a theropod, not a sauropod. There are thousands of transitional fossils in natural history museums across the world, if you care to actually see them for yourself. I've been to a creationist museum - the way they asserted that there were no transistional forms was to only select a few creatures that remain unchanged, like horseshoe crabs. Your arguments are from ignorance. 'it seems implausible to me' is nothing but an admission of ignorance.
@iorixs the movie, of course, was science fiction, based on carl sagan's best-selling novel. but it was very well written, since he is one of modern times most talented scientists. it was the last part of your comment that prompted me to make mine (something i rarely do, by the way). ''false perceptions of reality for the corruption and damnation of people's souls''... what's that got to do with an excellent movie? sagan was entertaining one very possible future scenario--that's it
@plinqth the purpose of the movie is to promote a number of anti-biblical agendas. copernicanism - that the universe is large and ancient and that humanity isnt anything special. in reality the universe is small and the earth at its center and humanity the reason for its existence. the christian fanatic is the enemy - antichristian conditioning for the viewer wrapped up in a semi mystical/religious shroud meant to infiltrate and the twist the christain sensibility, it is insidious, clever, evil
@plinqth can you tell me what reality is? 200 ton dinosaurs marauding the country side in large herds? a 200 ton dinosaur (megalosaurus) would consume several round bales of hay in one day. a herd would strip the country side and would die of starvation and be poisoned by all the waste left behind. dinosaurs, cavemen, a galaxy billions of light yrs across, all life originating by chance from inorganic matter are all cynical lies and corruptions mean to twist people. you tell me what reality is
@iorixs So I guess the Blue Whale is a fabrication eh? (It is several times larger than any dinosaur ever was and lives entirely off of microscopic plankton).
@19arcadia that's a good point but whales have can cover a lot of distance in that 3 dimensional environment where they are buoyant in water. i doubt that a 200 ton dinosaur would be able to feed itself walking around grazing and have to share the land with other creatures. a breeding population of 200 ton dinosaurs could not be supported on a grassland, in a jungle they would trample down all the trees. i just cant picture where these creatures would live. it just seems implausible
That's the most effective scene I've ever seen in a movie.When I saw this first,my mouth was opened,I was sitting in the dark,and shivered.I never could forget this sound..,.
creepy right ? thats how aliens think about us , only that our signal is more to kinda R rated signal , u know like " hey yall aliens retarded bitches, we are from some fucking planet called Earth, lots of shit happening here, come visit us sometime freak ! "
The same with me, no luck yet but still searching :)
There was a weird korean (?) site with an amateur "Contact" screensaver but the generated prime numbers signal sequence was too funny (not amazingly done) to convert it to mp3 :)
The whole scene starting from when Dr. Alloway hears the signal, to the time she enters the building, is my favourite. One of my favourite scenes of all time.

Hollywood makes a lot of very bad sci-fi that doesn't even really deserve to be called 'sci-fi'. Contact was the real thing though, I loved it.
Wall-E is a bonafide sci-fi movie too.
