Contact Opening scene
"...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."
