Really bad movie. I don't understand how it can get such high reviews. Wate of time.
I thought this movie had such a good premise, and really good execution. The performances throughout the movie were brilliant, the design, cinematography, editing were all fantastic. But the ending ruined it for me, it turned the movie into something it didn't need to be. I won't spoil it as you can make up your own mind, but it left me wondering why it even happened. Overall though, the film is something that the sci-fi genre needed, an alien movie based on intelligence, not shooting them up. It is worth a watch.
There was a time when movie makers treated their audience with respect and maturity, they took time to tell a story and really flesh out their characters; this movie does that and so much more. This movie follows the "show don't tell" mentality decently well and the twist at the end will really hit home. The power of choices, relationships, and the story's unique take on Aliens coming to Earth are all fresh and well executed. You'll love this movie for the emotion it invokes, storytelling, and VFX (out of this world, pun intended). Worth the watch
What a waste of effort. In my opinion, an attempt to make a science fiction movie for women. SciFi has always pushed the boundaries of science. SciFi movies mostly fail when they take that giant step, leaping over pushing the edges of science, trying their hands at godliness. We don't want faith in aliens.... we want conflict, trial, and to dream about incremental advancement. I was looking forward to this movie, then greatly disappointed when I watched.
