Great movie, spoilers are helpful before the first view.
Sci-Fi aficionados probably can't withstand to like it. So did I. The narrative line is cleverly constructed, however, if you watch it the first time probably you just don't get the point if you don't know that the flashbacks in "reality" are glimpses of the future. Like another reviewer wrote, you probably will appreciate it more on a second view, once you've understood the setup.
Very poetic for everyone who is receptive for the Sci-Fi mystery, able to induce imaginative thoughts. Settings, CGI and sound were very good. The point maybe one does consider after the first enthusiasm is that some parts in fact do not make too much sense, seen objectively (in fiction terms). For example, the stretch until it is understood that a communication works with writing and not with speech, logic would tell viceversa is the best attempt. Also the storyline that humans try hard to be able to communicate in the alien script, meh, given the supposed superiority of that alien race you would expect it's them who should not have too much problems to communicate in an earth writing. But never mind, Sci-Fi remains Sci-Fi, it doesn't take you much to concede these script liberties, when the production as whole is that appealing.
I'm prejudiced with Amy Adams, as I find her a very likable presence anyway, but I think she did a good acting job here, the delivery of the doctor/professor was quite convincing.
