Their whole existence has become battle after battle, all while trying to decipher the locked mysteries of their flagship, also a “Sixth Civilization” relic, and the Ideon: what Buff Clan calls the “Legendary Giant God”. A Contact is a whirlwind race across galaxies with the beleaguered survivors of Planet Solo under constant assault from Buff Clan. The proto- NGE feel which pervaded the series is entirely absent here.

The movie follows almost exclusively the hostilities between Clan and Solo, while Solo’s desperate planet visits are almost completely absent. However, we get almost no backstory on Solo and the Sixth Civilization research. Buff Clan’s motive for their assault on Solo is explained slightly better. Compared to the series, it lacks psychological and emotional depth, and where the series to me seemed to be drawn-out and sluggish, A Contact is the opposite, racing through the same events in 90 minutes which some 36 half-hour episodes explored. It is difficult to critique A Contact all by itself without comparing it to the series. Lows: pace perhaps too fast, simplistic plot with little depth, seems more like a highlights reel from the series Highs: great characters and mecha, non-stop action, distinctive premise A few of the Soloists seek shelter in what they think are dead artifacts of the long-vanished “Sixth Civilization”, and are startled when the three vehicles spontaneously transform themselves into the giant warrior robot: Ideon! From there, Buff Clan chases the Solo survivors from one galaxy to another, trying to capture the Ideon for themselves. Fearful of their homeworld being discovered, Buff Clan attacks, intending to wipe out the colony. Planet Solo is a bucolic colony world of Earth, until the day scouts from warlike, alien, Buff Clan discover them.
If the people seek peace, the Ide shall grant its power of goodness. Format: First movie of double feature release
