How did they translate? Glossed over!!

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2016)

*Spoilers*
The following may spoil the film for people who have not seen it yet, but in retrospect-I'm not too sure it could be spoiled anymore than it actually IS! I wanted to see how Humans translated an alien language. This is never properly scrutinized or explained. We see a floating inkblot circle with intricate squiggles around the edges one minute; the next-we see that The Human translators have written many words around these squiggles. I can't recall what actual words they were but similar to Convey-attack-transcend-gullible-uncertain- well you get the picture, many random words, not simple ones. Now, this part of the film would have been fascinating if they had only explained exactly how they actually came to discover the meaning of the seemingly random ink squiggles. But no-they just went from saying 'We Human, me Louise'-''(ink squiggle reply)'' to charts all over walls with our translations. Absolute tosh. Style over content. My girlfriend is never going to agree to watch a Sci-fi film with me ever again!
