Most intelligent aliens in the universe can't learn english?

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2019)

This is one of the worst films ever made.
There's no bigger plot hole that I can think of.
These aliens/beings/whatever are supposed to be so highly evolved that they can bend time and travel through impossible distances through the universe. But they couldn't figure out how to learn English in like, 5 seconds?
Instead some language professor lady (with ptsd that makes zero sense) has to spend years deciphering some creepy squid ink they spray on glass...
Watching this movie is like watching said "ink" dry up.
