It's a great movie Mike! One of my two favs (with Apollo 13).
Great place to visit.
I was out there in the late '90s teaching the crew and local emergency services vertical rescue off the dish. It's a vertical rescuer's heaven!
What I really like about the movie the disk was that the feel of the characters was very genuine and consistent with the sort of characters we met. The hay rides, the cricket, the middle of the sheep paddock - all genuine. While we were doing the VR training we noticed all these crazy wheel tracks all over the paddocks... we had to ask! They went out rabbitting the night before we got there while the scope was taking a long exposure!
I have posted some Parkes pics here before.
