It is linear, but unpredictable

Rating: 4/10 (20 April 2017)

The movie doesn't work on its main topic.
Which is not the contact with Aliens, not the helplessness of the military, not the incapability of humans to work together.
The movie fools the observer. It shows images of the mind of the main actor, Louise, the language specialist who will learn to communicate with the Aliens.
Logically, the images can't be anything else but memories from the past, where she was left by her husband, and lost her child to a rare illness.
And then in the end, she understands the language of the Aliens, telling her that time is not linear, and that they give humans their language to understand that they will need humanity in 3000 years.
But how can future be predetermined, and maybe predictable, if time is not linear? Louise can't do anything else but live what wasn't her memories, but her visions of the future.
I won't take that path of illogical fallacy reasoning, I recommend reading "How to think about weird things" Critical thinking for a new age, because in our time of information, people obviously lack the ability to handle that information with reason, to rate this movie so high.
The message of the movie is misleading New Age BS. Did I change your decision of how, when, where or whether you will watch the movie? So I changed your future, by writing, what I never intended to write.
