The Omen, Mulan, The Mummy (1999), a lot of movies Jerry Goldsmith worked on. But I feel like this is his most beautiful track, and the timing is perfect. It illustrates that as Cochrane is stepping forward to meet the new visitors, the music swells, highlighting how humanity and Earth will finally step forward into a better future, leaving behind the pain and terror of World War III behind forever. Sure, there will be a LOT of shit to come as well, like the Borg, the Dominion War, the Burn, etc. But it IS still a better future than the hellhole that is Earth prior to April 5, 2063. And the rising music encapsulates that

1996 when Star Trek was at its peak.

I would of done the same thing , i cant do the vulcan hand thing

The score is just so beautiful. The way the music swells… the way Cochran holds Lily’s hand on his way to become the man that history will remember: the man he couldn’t imagine being This is Star Trek

I wish the Vulcans saved our asses right about now.

Never understood why he made a ship with three seats.

Is our planet named Human?

These scene is soo beautiful. I hope humanity will have a moment like this soon. And I would wish so much to be still on this planet when this should happen. ❤

Too bad life is really not that exciting.

How the phoneix landed ?

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Our first friends.... Vulcans. Like the French. Viva Vulcan!!!!!!

This is my favorite part of this movie and my favorite movie of the series

For those asking "How do the Vulcans speak English?"...the "Enterprise" episode "Carbon Creek" explains it. They had been monitoring Earth since at least 1957.

Why... why almost nobody is wondering why the Vulcans already speak English... hahhaha is the First Contact, and they already speak english pretty well... hahaha

The people in the comments need help

Peak Star Trek moment.

God damn. James Cromwel is one tall dude. 6'7" Even Jonathan Frakes, who stood at a very respectable 6'3" looks small compared to him, and LeVar Burton (5'7") is outright tiny.

Now, if it had been the Romulans…

Glad that the Vulcans could speak English

Still makes Me Emotional 😢❤!

Love the fact that the Vulcans speak English ( with an American accent)

And with no gunplay this time.

Jonathan Frakes is at least 6'4". James Cromwell is absolutely MASSIVE.,

It’s more like a kiss in the cheek instead of making out.

2:40 That's always the moment in those kinds of videos when I'm expecting that the uploaded has edited some pieces together and Cochran pulls out a shot gun.

This scene always struck me as a bit odd. The Vulcans obviously knew enough about human culture to know at least one of their languages, but seemed a bit perplexed at a handshake -- something practically universal among ALL human cultures.

so impressed that the Vulcans detect a warp signature and instantly learn English and just land there and contaminate the planet with their germs, landing exactly where the ship is without a warp signature to detect. That's impressive

First Contact was the very best of Star Trek. This comment section is the very worst of humanity.

Imho one of the best scenes in the whole movie!

And also hooray we did it. 🇨🇦

You could tell it was really important to all involved to get this First Contact scene right because they nailed it. The scenery, the acting, the score,…. All so perfect.

I’m guessing their universal translators allowed both sides to understand each other?

There is something wrong with this scene. He didn't kill the Vulcan and raid his ship!

2:38 It was at that moment Cochrane said F it and pulled out his shotgun and the rest is history.

I would love to witness a similar experience in real life Actually meeting creatures from another world An incredible moment

You done landed on Mr. Gilmore’s property!

My all-time favorite movie scene EVAH!! Picard and Riker were watching one of the most important moments in human history as it unfolded... like watching the signing of the Declaration of Independence for Americans.

What if, vulcans never show up but klingons is showing up instant? 😢

I love that humanities first contact isn't by some bureaucrat with a lot of money or extra-special depression/anxiety free genetics, but rather, a drunk with a dream that sobers up long enough to manage to find (with a lot of luck) a way through Don't do hope (it's a ridiculous function of our biology that causes us to become complacent), but...

Happy Star Trek Day! 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

Good thing they all spoke English.

This is what we need more of in sci fi! Hope, emotion, optimism! This scene is so beautiful and emotionally charged. It means the moment where we as a species grew up and matured into the next phase of our existance. This is when humanity became adult and responsible. I really hope we reach this point eventually. I know, studying history and seeing the madness in the world today, we feel a little broken inside. We as a species still have a lot to learn, to grow, but never forget what we have already learned! (in the majority of the world today) We don't torture animals for fun anymore! We don't enslave people anymore! Women are treated as equals! We have reached unprecedented levels of life expectancy! WE HAVE HOPE! WE CAN IMPROVE! WE WILL IMPROVE! DON'T GIVE UP!

Well, at least he didn't blast him with the sawed off shotgun...

Live long and prosper. This scene is my favorite.

For both Humans and Vulcans, this was a Date with Destiny

Veramente bella e significativa questa scena: poi si torna alla deludente realtà. Ho sempre amato la Fantascienza (con la saga di Star Trek come preferita), ma ultimamente mi fa male, perché continuo a fare confronti con il mondo che mi circonda. Avevo 15 anni quando fu lanciato il primo Shuttle, e già fantasticavo di Stazioni Orbitali gigantesche, esplorazioni a vasto raggio del sistema solare, nuovi sistemi di propulsione per accedere in un breve futuro ad altri sistemi stellari; ora mi guardo attorno e (tranne qualche eccezione), vedo solo macerie dei sogni che furono.

I love grandpa slutman

It would have been cool if Cochran would have blown the Vulcan away like he did in enterprise.

IS THAT EWAN FROM SUCCESSION MAKING OUT WITH THAT VULCAN
