Lorentz "transformations" are equations showing how relative velocity of two "reference frames" - one moving, the other stationary affect time, mass and dimension (length) when measurements of those quantities are compared. No "large" effects show up until speed of the moving frame is very close to speed of light, relative to stationary frame. At slower speeds, the equations are still valid, differences just too small to measure.

Father on beach sequence was a bit dramatic but not bad, made sense considering the rest of the movie, like young Arroway contacting the beach in Florida on ham radio at beginning of movie.
