Fantastic movie about humanity

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2016)

I've never written a review on this site, but I've also never seen a movie like this, so I had to make an exception. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into this movie, and I was a little bit hesitant to see it. However, this is one of the most thought-provoking and emotional movies that I've ever seen. While the main plot concerns itself with the arrival of aliens on Earth, the movie never resorts to mindless scenes of action to entertain the viewer or add suspense. The writing and characters provide all of the emotional suspense that a person can handle. I found myself invested in the fate of the characters more than the threat of aliens. Without spoiling anything, the movie contains a twist that changes everything that you think you understand about the movie. The movie never holds your hand and respects the viewer enough to make their own decisions about the themes portrayed in the movie. I've never seen anything like this, and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to experience a movie that will explore complex themes in an approachable and understandable way. P.S. I can easily see this movie winning the Oscar for Best Picture of 2016. It's that good.
