Contact - Machine Explosion

The machine explosion from the movie "Contact", released in 1997.

When I first watched this movie, I thought the machine's destruction was epic. So much so, that I wanted to go watch it again on YouTube. Much to my dismay, it wasn't anywhere to be found; so I took the liberty and uploaded it myself.

Enjoy!

Stunning visual effects and realism before its time, my favorite scene . . . I was an extra in the Congressional testimony scene, Zemeckis repeated that scene like 13-14 takes, each take seeking to capture an increasingly intense performance from Ms. Foster, the final chosen from somewhere in the middle of the bunch. Being there to experience the process was amazing.

I've seen this movie more than five times, and this scene STILL gives me chills(physically!). Damn it's good.

One of my favourite movie scenes of all time. Absolutely epic! Thanks for uploading it. I guess I should get the book and read it.

When this scene ended, the only thing I could feel was a deep, overwhelming feeling of sadness and rage. Like if I had been betrayed. The most incredible thing in human history, and a single person, a maniac, a madman, would destroy it just out of religious convictions.

The sad part, though, is that it could happen. I can picture this happening. I can imagine a religious extremist, no matter what his beliefs would actually be, planting a bomb in the Machine.

Only one answer: seek your truth.

Contact is one of the most realistic Alien Contact movie out there, it incorporates relatively accurate Science, and most important of all, it incorporates how Religion would react when the edge of this ultimate contact is about to happen.

Unable to contain its stupidity, Religion will self destruct along with everyone else it could take with it.

I think contact is one of the best movies ever made it isnt full of way out stupid special efects from start to finish like most alien movies are now days and the story is real easy to follow again not like some of the alien moves that have been served up to us the creators of contact deserve a huge pat on the back like I said it is a fantastic movie does anyone share my view on this movie .....

I think the movie definitely outdid the book on this scene.

@zgrillo2004 "I have faith too that we are not alone in this vast universe. Look at the sky at one night and imagine yourself. "wow. this is big."

I have done this already, trust me. It doesn't require "faith". Faith is not necessary to believe we are not alone, thinking about the likeliness that we are the only planet with life can bring us to that conclusion.

Faith only makes you comfortable, it obliterates any unknowns. It stunts growth by restricting our boundaries.
