Well A Contact is a recap movie. They try to condense 38 episodes of material into 80 minutes, so you already know it will skip out on a lot and be greatly rushed.
I would definitely suggest watching the TV series to get the full effect. It was a great show, I don't see a reason not to watch it in its entirety.
umm tomino who created it did not even like it that much i think you can give it a miss.
indeo's plot in a nut shell every one dies the end

Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice

“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus
