Sci-Fi made to make linguists and people with lots of feelings feel like scientists :)

Rating: 6/10 (28 February 2017)

There's a lot this movie has going on for it, namely:

The "arrivals" look interesting - The suspense is good - The sounds are fitting - The "problem" the protagonist(s) have to overcome is intriguing - Forest Whitaker

What the movie does not do well:

Most of the characters are too flat and too cliché - Pandering to female audience by making the linguist (the female protagonist) be "a real scientist" who approaches "language like a mathematician" (and I'm quoting!), but in such a dumb and platitudinal way it's beyond face-palming.. she (the female protagonist) is of course all full with feelings, while the mathematician (the guy) is of course completely cliché and wants to only ask prime questions etc etc.. and says things along the lines of "you know about all these language traps that I would never see".. right... man dumb.. cannot talk... woman genius and feelings get you everywhere... so boring... oh and of course China and Russia are aggressive and only the US comes to the rescue with their understanding and logic.. omg
