High-level, quality Sci-fi

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2017)

This is a beautifully shot movie. The score is perfect as it in itself sounds other-worldly. I wouldn't say there are stand out performances, but they were all solid for the most part. I was impressed with the alien language aspect and the visuals of the creatures and ships. Yes, there is a twist, but it's presented in a realistic way rather than trying to trick you. Forest Whitaker I think was trying to do a Boston accent, but it was hard to tell since he would abandon it altogether from time to time. A great overall message, especially for the current climate. It poses far-reaching questions but leaves room for personal ones as well.
