Don't believe the hype.

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2019)

If I have to sit through another movie that takes itself as seriously as this film again, I'm going to glue my eyelids shut. I'm tired of films that use trailers to mislead viewers. Shoutout to circa 2003, when trailers literally explained what the movie was about. Now everything is about showing the fans 1 and a half minutes of action, taking their money at the box office, and filling the rest of the film up with pure garbage that half the viewers didn't sign up for. I mean seriously, if the movie is about a translator trying to communicate with peaceful aliens, why include any rifles, tanks and military in the trailer in the first place. Maybe show an actual scene of what the heck the movie is about. Oh wait, that would be boring and not attract viewers at the box office. Anyone who's sitting here talking about how profoundly moving this film was is trying to rationalize the enormous waste of money they used to watch this. If you're watching this for free, go right ahead. But heed my warning and don't pay to see this trash
