It is the other way around for me. Contact is the only movie that I have ever seen that I enjoyed more than the book. It has been a long time since I read the book, but if memory serves me correctly, the movie was much more focused on the relationship between faith and science, and I appreciated this aspect. Or maybe it was because I read it in the early-nineties and found all the Cold War stuff kitschy.
