i first saw this trailer in a theater in nj with surround sound. It was awesome. The website for this film (which still exists) has the famous sound. I saw this movie and it was the best sci-fi film of 1997.

If you build an involved technology without knowing what it is then that constitutes a scientific folly.

I loved this film. Jodie Foster plays Elle, the character is based on a Real Person called Carolyn Porco, she was a consultant for this film Contact. You can see her here - watch?v=qGSv-uZCOyY or search "science in hollywood" by Carolyn Porco, its a great video, please go see this video. Jodie Foster really has captured the character of this person well, it shows what a great actress she really is.
