The Hollywood left feels the need to preach again.

Rating: 4/10 (12 December 2016)

Good movie overall but it was obviously written by a lefty. The alien ships had zero emissions and perfect sustainability (oh please). They just had to take cheap shots at talk radio, Christians, the US military and Fox News. How predictable.
The basic premise was "if we all spoke the same language we would all live in perfect peace". People who speak the same language have being killing each other throughout history.
The other part that bugged me was the portrayal of the aliens being super tech advanced and WAAAY smarter than us. Why couldn't they figure out how to speak the English language? It should have taken them nanoseconds. Yes I know that would have ruined the story.
The movie tried REALLY hard to be profound but I left the theater thinking "meh".
Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker and Jeremy Renner were great as usual.
