Close Encounters Better

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2017)

Why would an alien civilization need we humans to teach them how to communicate with us. They have the technology to come a gazillion light years to visit and have likely done this countless times, and we have to be the ones to make the relationship work. This movie needs a counselor.
As for the aliens, was there anyone who helped draw up this script that thought outside the box of creative thought. Just another alien movie where the writers drew too heavily on what WE know. An alien movie should start from what we don't know and the questions we have about what we don't know. Or, better yet, take a look at some drawings of 3 year-olds. They are more creative than this.
Throw in the usual protagonist and antagonist plot and we discover what again? Nothing, except Hollywood scripts of this kind always have to highlight the evils of humanity and those damn reminders on how government can really screw up anything!
I'm going to watch E.T. next time I need my alien fix. I don't trust Hollywood ever to get it right.
