Contact Opening scene

 Opening scene from an under appreciated space movie without aliens 

"...Contact’s visual effects look as though they hit cinemas yesterday; it’s the 640×480 screen resolutions and clunky laptops which give the decade away. A three-minute, fully CGI opening sequence, dragging the audience backwards through the solar system and gradually ageing radio waves into deep space, spent seven years as the longest continuous VFX sequence in a live-action film; its detail and quality explains why nobody tried to best it any sooner."
