Comment
A linguistics professor (Amy Adams) is brought in by the US military (Forest Whitaker) to try and communicate with aliens that have landed on earth in giant spaceships. As she takes time to try and work out a way to communicate, the political situation around the world starts to deteriorate. Although not the first film to explore how we make first contact with aliens, this is a well made film that explores language and communication as well as relating to aliens. The film also benefits from a good performance from Amy Adams as well as CGI that enhances the film and does not take over the film.
