The most authentic "What if aliens actually visited" movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2018)

I've seen this movie many times, twice on cinema, because I had to bring my son to see it, it made such an impact on me.
What this movie does, which makes the whole movie so much more authentic, is that everything that happens in the world, you view through the eyes of the main character. There are no "meanwhile, in the White House" scenes, or "meanwhile, in France". The few scenes you get from other parts of the World are either through news on the radio, or on TV. This makes the movie all the more claustrophobic and realistic.
This is what would probably happen if Aliens visited, and why I love this movie so much. It keeps the suspense up to the very end, keeping you on edge while the nations of the World tries to figure out, in their own way, what the hell is going on. Why are these alien aricrafts here and what do they want.
Do they want war? Share knowledge? Our resources?
Also, don't get me started on the scenery. If you've seen Prisoners, Sicario or Blade Runner 2049, you know what to expect: Huge, magnificient scenes with music that demands your attention. There are some scenes here that still gives me the chills when I see them.
The music depicts what these people must be feeling perfectly: alarming, menacing and alien.
This movie also has a twist of sorts that makes it worth while to watch a second time, just to clear up any lose ends. Small scenes that makes more sense after you know what's actually going on: what's with the messy timeline? It all makes sense in the end.
Well worth a watch.
