Beautifully shot, but too slow.

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2017)

I would love to be writing a review saying how much I enjoyed this movie. But unfortunately I cannot. It had it's moments, but unfortunately it was mostly undone by it's slow plodding story. the 'twist' was interesting, but was morally a bit 'iffy' and that also was a turn off in the end which made you kinda dislike the main character as she comes across as pretty selfish when you think about it.
Plus the reasons for the aliens being there, please, how weak was that. We are here to help you, (which they kinda didn't). But in return you must help us in 300 years? Help with what? and why if they are so advanced do they make us spend months learning their stupid language. Was it just to make everyone work together? It led us to brink of war for goodness sake, what if the main character hadn't figured it all out....then what? It was just to much faith and wishy-washy working together crap for me to take what the film makers were selling seriously.
It was beautiful shot though.
