What a crap

Rating: 2/10 (29 May 2017)

Humans are always curious. When 12 alien ships park in different regions of earth, the scope for the curiosity is endless. It emerges when we ask the most important question ourselves, 'What is the purpose of aliens on the earth?'. Yes, the movie to ask the question and everyone is hoping the lead actress to solve the question.
In order to solve this, first humans need to understand the method of communication between aliens. First part of the film is revolving around the interpretation of alien language. So naturally a linguistic expert Luise plays the important role. With her passion towards learning languages, she manages to find a way, visual communication. Interpretation part was some what okay. All subsequent events can be said as mindless crap.
What makes the second part of the movie a crap? It is the answer to the major question asked first. The purpose of the aliens is to gift humans a powerful weapon/tool. The tool is universal language and what it can be used for is to see the future. Why are they offering the tool? Because they need help from humanity after 3000 years. What help? Even director would not have thought about that.
So were humans able to see future? Yes, indeed, but only one. It is our linguistic expert Luise by taking a risk. She was able to see her married life with her future fellow scientist and also could see her future daughter. She was caught by some disease, and her grown up daughter sat near her death bed. Also there are hints that she mention about this disease to her husband and he leave her because of this. What a tragedy? If she was able to see the future, were she not able to see her husband leaving? She wrote a book about universal language. So with this book what did others do? Did they just play with stains and circles? What happened to world politics and religions? Was world at peace after understanding about future and also about aliens? They are conducting a party towards the end of the film with all world leaders. What happened in between? Do we need to write another movie and submit the script to the director of this movie? What holy words stopped Chinese general from attacking aliens? The aliens as per the movie are poor and kind creatures. One of them died after a bomb blast. With the powerful tool future visualization, why these creatures couldn't stop the death of their fellow members? Okay, leave it. Were they too weak or kind enough to not attack humans? Oh, may be they thought about help from human after 3000 years. What a mess?
There are endless questions to be answered in the movie which can be used for making another 10 or more movies like this.
And one of the funny thing I noticed is about mentions of Pakistan. As per one news report in the movie, the scientific experts from Pakistan helped the world to interpret the alien language. Holy crap !!! ;) Was director looking for a variety in the movie? May be he is right, expert scientists much like Osama Bin Laden can use their brain more efficiently to interpret the alien language.
Don't waste your time on this boring movie. This film is a lesson for futuristic directors, just adding a theme like foreseeing future does not make a movie good.
