Loved it, and SPOILER

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2017)

My review actually discusses a HUGE spoiler, so please do not read if you haven't seen the movie!
One of the reasons I don't like that IMDb took away the message boards is that I can't discuss this movie, which I loved. In my mind, Louise now has a chance to save her marriage, and not hurt the relationship between her daughter and the daughter's father, because now she knows Ian's reaction. So, in this new future, Louise can keep the secret of Hanna's death, and let it all play out with Ian beside her, and with Hannah. It's bittersweet, but a good concept. By becoming fluent in the language of the aliens, she sees life and time as they do. Kind of reminds me of the tralfamadorians from Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five". But, this is a different story with a similar concept, and it allows our hero (Louise) to actually change the outcome of her life, and make it better. Even though it means keeping a terrible secret from her future husband.
I kept hoping that the technology of the aliens could save her daughter, but I guess that is just not in the cards in the story. I didn't appreciate the little Hollywood digs at Fox news, having a "Rush Limbaugh" type screaming on his radio show, and having a crooked mouthed Greta Van Susterin idiot calling for war. But being from Hollywood, of course you're gonna have to take a swat or two at conservatives. Also, the way the Corporal (Forrest Whittaker) dismisses this giant revelation that Louse shares about the gift is totally unbelievable. Just because you are in the military does not mean you are a fool.
Overall, loved this movie!! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
