Trivia:
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (featured in the film) has a club station which, with the permission of Reber, had acquired his old call sign "W9GFZ" earlier in 1997. Zemeckis, learning of this tribute, planned to use the same call sign for Arroway in the movie. However, in the end "W9GFO" was used instead. While viewing the film after release, David Wilson of the Internet recognized this call sign as that of his father Robert (Bob) Wilson from the late 1930s. W9GFO and K4WLD are currently assigned to ham radio operators in the USA.

No movie has moved me more than this one, ever, 5 November 2004

This, for me, is a masterpiece. I have enjoyed it more with each
viewing.
Carl Sagan was a great man. He promoted science in the way it should
be. In his book, the Demon-Haunted World, he quotes Einstein:
"All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike
-- and yet it is the most precious thing we have".
Contact conveys this simple message in such a powerful way. The
performances are some of the most compelling I have seen, particularly
by Jodie Foster.
Just magnificent.
