Boring as hell...Seriously

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2017)

I can't believe the high ratings on this movie. It took me three sittings in order to get through it. This is one of the slowest moving movies I have ever seen in my life.
So much time wasted on things such as, Amy Adams holding up a white board with "See Ian Run" written on it, while Ian is running in the background. It had already been established that they were using a white board to teach them words, was it really necessary to show us crap like that? There was also an insane amount of time wasted on the aliens various circle smoke language. We got to see circle after circle with minor changes, and oh my god it was slow.
They could have had a decent movie if they shortened this to about 15 to 20 minutes. Heck, the first 20 to 25 minutes could have been cut down drastically. We really did not need to see Amy Adams in her classroom so many times, and the army (Forest Whitaker) showing up only to say they will not take her to the space ship, but end up taking her to the space ship anyways.
Did I mentioned that this movie is SLOW.
Anyways, someone needed to warn others about this movie. The crazy high rating on IMDb is a trick. I would give this movie a 2 just for some of the effects. At least you know what you are getting into now, so the choice is yours on whether to watch it or not.
