Fantastic movie!

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2017)

This is a movie where you have to use your brain and think. It's quite clear from seeing the bad reviews left by some people here that using ones brain is something not everyone is equally good at. Some people have a very short attention span, and they want to see things blown up instantly.
It doesn't matter how huge the plot holes are, as long as there's mindless action all the time, they are happy and will give the movie 10.
I can tell you this, this is not an action packed action movie filled with plot holes. It's a scifi thriller playing mind games with you. Once you get it, you'll love this movie.
Too bad a lot of people who just didn't get it are spoiling the ratings by giving a low score. Disregard them. Because someone didn't get the movie doesn't mean that you won't. It's like asking a blind person how it looks. He'll say it doesn't look great. Don't take his word for it! Have a look for yourself.
This movie is not like independence day, which is quite predictable. The stupid aliens arrive with their technology which is 1000 times more advanced than ours, yet we manage to defeat them easily..
This movie reflects a more realistic scenario on things would ACTUALLY play out if we met a species that is so much more advanced than us, and so fundamentally different in every way. How would we communicate? How would communication work? Just look at how easily we misunderstand each other. How can we expect to make any sense of an alien race?
This movie is brilliantly thought out. You have to pay close attention at all times, as it gives you small clues that you'll need to put it all together towards the end. Then it'll make sense, and you will be left astonished by this movie!
One of the best movies so far this year. Highly recommended! If you like scifi movies that are not shallow, this is the movie for you!
