Almost thought provoking

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2018)

I really had high hopes for this movie knowing that the man behind 'Deus ex machina' is directing this movie. The movie begins with interesting premise, and up to the end, it gradually devolves into a non-senical intellectual-wannabe-movie, for example, why are all the team members female? Not that I have a general problem with that, but from the military point of view, some heterogenuous crew with much better equipment would be needed. No hamzat suits, no second-hand weapons, ... and we are talking about (maybe) the End of the world. What is the purpose of this invasion? The serpent icon on forearms? Why the main ET is trying to dopplerbang itself? Lot of questions, but not enough answers.
On the otherside, movie does give some interesting thoughts about annihalation of previous selves to evolve in something new. Also, the visuals are quite OK and lead role performed well.
Honest to say, I really miss my two hours run of this mediocre movie. Maybe watching Villeneuve's Arrival movie which tackles much better the changeling implications of alien contact exposure would be a much better choice.
