Not a cliche Sci-fi film !

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2020)

This film is much more sophisticated than any other movie in its genre. I love that it never really shows what the alien looks like, your imagination fills in the rest and honestly that is much scarier. Amy Adams is wonderful and I'm glad she got a few noms for this movie. Honestly, you really have to be in the right state of mind for this movie. It's a little more psychological, and there is a spin on time and the date the movie is happening in. I loved that the film was focused on communication and linguistics. It's hard to find an alien film without the entire plot being them trying to destroy the earth. Make sure you have your popcorn and have already been to the restroom, because you could get confused pretty easily if you miss something. It's a very different movie in fact I would say it's the sci-fi movie for people who really don't like sci-fi movies. Another thing I liked was the movie jumped right into the plot just minutes after it started. Over all I really liked the movie, though it might be a movie to just watch once for some.
