I really enjoyed this edit. I am a fan of Carl Sagan and the novel Contact. Like lapis molari, I enjoyed but didn't love the original film. This edit is a nice improvement. The pacing is good, I agree with everything that was removed, and moving the bizarre ending scene really helped. Unfortunately the ending in this edit seems very abrupt, although I don't have any idea of how that could be improved. The only other minor quibble is a jarring edit in the scene in Ellie's quarters in Hokkaido before her journey - it was jarring enough that I think the scene could have been cut altogether.

I really appreciate the extra video clip that was included and the audio interview at the end. Excellent stuff.

Thanks lapis molari for your great work and giving me reason to experience this story again!
