What on earth is the point of this movie?

Rating: 2/10 (30 November 2016)

Well, that was two hours of my life which I'll never see again! Perhaps I missed something, but I really didn't understand the purpose of this film. Of course it was about aliens landing on earth, but they made no effort to invade so the reason for their visit was unclear, even though they landed in several different locations at the same time. It was very slow and seemed to have no proper plot, other than an effort by the Americans to try to communicate with them, although largely without success and following which all the aliens departed. There were some underlying sub-plots, but nothing of great significance. I also had trouble understanding what the actors we saying much of the time, although no doubt this was in part due to their American accents which I often have trouble with. I was persuaded to see this film with three other people and they all seemed to feel much the same about it as I did so, in short, I think that most people would be better off giving it a miss!
