Brilliant movie making.

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2017)

Throw away all your preconceptions of alien movies, sci-fi and just absorb this movie when you go see it. The script was inspired, the directing like done by a maestro and the performances by Amy Adams, Jeremy Brenner and Forest Whitaker, flawless.
I've watched just about all the alien movies of significance in over 50 years and this one is unlike any of them. It is simply thought provoking. It does not make special effects the centre of attention, but instead those complement well a journey your mind must take. It brings out the human flaws, also the beauty of the human mind and greatness of having an open one, the fearless desire for understanding beyond.
The writer was not beneath using a tiny bit of humour to break tension and suspense and I like that. What you will get out of this movie may vary from one person to another but what I got out of it was a sense of hope and peace despite the always looming dangers of man's imperfections.
If good movies are suppose to instill strong feelings and make us think, then this one is definitely a good movie.
