Let me start by saying that this is soooooooo not the movie that you go into it expecting. Sure it is a movie about aliens arriving and is advertised as a heavy sci-fi kind of movie but it really doesn't play like a sci-fi movie even though it's all about communicating with aliens. Normally something like that would infuriate me and I would hate the movie just because of that. But this movie was one of the best psychological movies about being a human being I've ever seen. And the fact that it's a movie that is actually about communication period shown through trying to communicate with these aliens makes it truly impressive. You leave the theater really wondering about life as a whole and if you would still go down certain paths in life. I can't really say much else without ruining the movie.
I seriously enjoyed this movie on a very deep level and it really is an incredible deep thought conversation starter for people who have seen it. I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out but don't go into expecting to see a bona fide sci-fi movie because the best part of it is the non sci-fi aspects or parts of it.
