"There are days that define your story beyond your life." Louise Banks (Adams) is a linguistics professor who just went through the worst thing a parent can experience. When word comes that aliens have landed she is the first person the army goes to for help. Now, against all odds Louise and Ian (Renner) must find a way to decipher their language and find out what the species wants before its too late. First of all I have to say this movie isn't really what I expected. That said, it was just wow! DO NOT go in expecting something like Independence Day, or any other alien movie you have ever seen before. Not only that, do not go in expecting to see something like any other movie in general. This movie breaks all the rules, and it works beyond belief. First off the movie is about deciphering language, and its extremely tense and interesting. Perhaps the biggest rule it breaks is that it shows you what is going to happen, and then you watch it happen. This movie pulls that off in a way I have never seen and keeps the tension and emotion throughout this process. This is a movie I could go on and on about but this is just a movie that needs to be seen and felt rather than read about. Overall, not only one of the the best movies of the year, this is quite possible THE BEST movie of the year. Clear your schedule and watch this today. I give this an A+.
