Bad Movie

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2016)

*** This review contain spoilers ***
After reading a lot of positives reviews, i walked into this with high expectations and left bitterly disappointed...
First of all lets talk about the horrible screenplay.The writers set some intriguing questions in the first act who got the audience's interest. But it turned out even they didn't know the answers.How to communicate with the aliens? Why did they come? What do they want?
Let's see...Protagonist Louise (at some point in the shell just took off her protective suit so they can see her face smh moment) was teaching them our language by writing words on the board and showing the action.The aliens response were ink circles coming out of their tentacles.It felt like this was keep going on throughout the movie and at no point they achieved any conversation with them.But when a random soldier decided to blow the aliens and the 2 scientists up,in the last minute the aliens save them from the explosion(2012 like).She magical understands the two circles coming out of them without any need of analyzing the circles.''Offer weapon'' are the two words she figures out and the Chinese minister feels them as war declaration and is reading the nukes.
Fortunately, although everyone is packing their stuff, Louise decides to go back and after having a ''chat'' with the aliens we get the second question answered. They came to help humanity (we don't get to know from what), so humanity will help them in 3000 years (from whatt?).Now Louise having ''learned'' their circle ''language''can see into the future.So months from the event she will meet the Chinese minister and (thankgod) she tells her his private number and the last words of his beloved wife(something about war is bad).Now in the present she calls him, tells him the words and yes he decided to blow off the attack.But of course this whole time paradox didn't need to be there in the first place, as the aliens now just vanish.Their purpose was to teach Louise to see into the future?Louise even released a book about the ''language''.Can anyone who read the book now see into the future?We will have a lot o millionaires winning the lottery.Well this was the whole movie summarized in two paragraphs.
Besides the terrible plot we had loud annoying noises and bird(what did they brought that) twitches, between long silences which were hard to keep our eyes open at. The pacing was very slow from the beginning to the end.There never really was any agony and it was hard to like any of the characters(Renner's and Whitaker's talents were wasted).
I can't understand how people can rate this so high...Over-hyped as hell...It is a waste of money and time...Far away from a good movie and calling it a masterpiece is sheer blasphemy...
