"Time and Space Contact" fictionalizes a peculiar experience of human contact with extraterrestrial civilization. Although it is expensive and has outstanding special effects, it is by no means a popcorn to show off audio-visual effects. The film makes full use of a variety of symbolic images, showing a high level of scientific literacy. The magnificent three-minute long shot at the beginning simulates the journey of radio signals; the vehicles built in accordance with alien drawings and the process of their navigation are a metaphor for human fertilization and new life. The scientific component in the film is far greater than the fantasy, and even the fantasy elements are based on the existing scientific knowledge. The explanation of every scientific concept is not only subtle but also reasonable, and it is irreplaceable to promote the plot. Whether science or religion is closer to the truth of the world, such a serious issue will most likely become dull preaching on the screen, let alone convince the public with conclusions. However, the film not only finds the intersection between these two competing viewpoints, but also shoots a rich entertaining and touching emotional track. The female scientist played by Judy Foster overcomes many setbacks and realizes the dream of space. The reunion with "father" and the meaningful speech are all unforgettable.)
As one of the most rigorous hard science fiction movies in history, "Time Contact" is quite different from the space science fiction styles that are more or less rhapsody such as "Star Trek" and "Star Wars". The film is adapted from a novel by Carl Sagan, who was born as an astronomer, and tells the story from astronomical observations, exploration of extraterrestrial life to wormhole crossing. It is not so much a science fiction as it is a rigorous one. Scientific hypothesis.
The first highlight of the film is to reflect the fundamental difficulties of many cutting-edge scientific research projects: not only do things that are far less likely than finding a needle in a haystack or winning a lottery, regardless of day and night, but also personally dealing with various sponsors. , Once it fails, it will be destroyed. The image of a pure laboratory scientist in mainstream film and television works is reduced to a living individual here. The second highlight of the film is the limits of science. Ai Luowei treats the relationship between life with a completely rational attitude, and believes that any established boundary can be gradually broken by scientific methods and does not require religious explanation. However, when she finally met her father who died when she was a child on Vega, and understood the fusion of life and the profound meaning of the evolution of the universe, she suddenly discovered that all of this was nothing more than what Joss was talking about.
