Really strong and clever message

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2016)

Where to start..
Simply amazing. I can see why everyone compares it to Contact, it does draw some similarities with it. Finally a movie that has almost no single cliché used in alien movie, not a single one, and I was so scared throughout the whole movie that it doesn't turn into another independence day. But believe me, it did not.
This is a movie with a really strong message and it's probably the most realistic depiction of alien encounter movie I have ever seen. It does seem a bit slow and boring at times (at the beginning), but everything soon starts to make sense quickly.
I won't reveal the main plot here, go see the movie, but there is a little spoiler ahead. I really like it how the movie used seeing the future as a mean to understand the aliens, and they used that to make a movie itself some kind of a prophecy for our own world.
Of course, I mean the fact that the China seems like it's the leading country in the world and America's military has experienced bankruptcy (probably it's overall economy suffered also). It is a really realistic view of our own future if you are aware of what's going on in the world and Chinas economic progress etc... But what I like the most is the fact that it was presented in such a subtle way, I'm not even sure most of the people even got it.
Once again, it's the most realistic depiction of the alien encounter movie I've probably seen so far. Go see it!!
I'm writing this right after watching the movie so I did probably miss a lot of other hidden messages, but that's for you to discover, because there is really so much going on (which is always a case when you start taking on the nature of time).
What are you waiting for, go see it! Now!
