Jonathan F 02/05/2022 Extremely short-paced, felt like most of the movie was empty without a real driving story. I would have hoped for more action. See more Katie D 03/15/2021 An amazing film! very well-done, thought-provoking, entertaining and unpredictable. my only complaint is about the loud horn blasts that accompany so many science fiction movie scenes - unnecessary, unrealistic and distracting! other than that it was awesome! See more Carly T @CarlyTucker43 Aug 24 Great movie overall. Great actors involved. I do wish we had more to the ending. It seemed like there needed to be a longer ending to come together. However still such a great watch!! See more Faith F @RT07962477 Aug 22 Sci Fi fan since 1966. This movie keeps you guessing and I never expected the ending. Have watched it several times so kudos to them. It's a mind bender. See more Landon J @Minxsykitty Aug 19 Idek what to make of this. Yeah it's though provoking or whatever but it's like they use so much convolution to reach the message. Literal plot devices included. Kinda like the cross between a chicken wing and "Interstellar" which I think it relies heavily on for inspiration. Like yeah mayne we get that time can be interpreted differently, yeah we get that geo political relations suck or whatever, but idk who cares mayne.

The shots showing the spaceship and breathtaking, and the start quickly jumps into the story without wasting time. The idea of the complex linguistic structure of how the Aliens in the movie communicate gives the protagonist a reason to be part of the research team, and makes the audience think about how another species would realistically develop communication. The usage of a canary inside of the spaceship is nothing short of perfectly practical. Having a bird once used in coal mines to test the air just makes sense, and is great attention to detail. The cooperation of world nations at first with issues arriving later seems very accurate to how the real world works. The ending is very bittersweet, but has a nice commentary about enjoying life. I would definitely recommend this movie to pretty much anyone. See more Read all reviews
