Why has film got a 8.1 rating.

Rating: 5/10 (11 February 2017)

At the end of the film I thought what is the real point of this film. We get to understand how hard it must be to communicate with a Alien race and really nothing else, well nothing new anyways. The film is nice to watch, has special effect but which film doesn't nowadays.
Possibly the premise of the film is to show the world how we humans are not just to one another but to all creatures. But we've been like this for thousands of years so that's not anything new.
It was very fortunate that the film introduce the concept of nonlinear time as a gift to humanity so now we can go on living as we do. doing all the things we do but doing it indefinitely. Does that seem like real fun, I don't think so.
