The very beginning of #TheFifthElement when they're showing the planet from space, there's a scraping sound. It really reminds me of the beginning of #StarTrek The Voyage Home when the space obelisk is sending out the signal looking for the whales. Anybody else notice the striking similarity? TBC, this is before we see the spaceship.

@Phangurl@vmst.io Considering how often I've watched both movies, I'm surprised I didn't notice the similarity. I will have to find time to watch both movies again soon to consider it, for Science™ of course. For now, I'm scratching my itch by putting on The Fifth Element's soundtrack because I don't have sit and watch a movie spoons at the moment. I've watched the movie a lot, but I've listened to the sound track even more. It's so good.

@Phangurl@vmst.io It’s known as the “whale probe”.
