For a start, the movie has a well woven conflict. It
was 2hrs of no boredom, intermittent or not, and
no dull moments. The story was well put for the fact
that the movie was an organized chaos of action,
drama, and scattered bits of suspense well put at the
right moments.
The story involved betrayal, love, and patriotism. I
witnessed the first and the latter, but the bit half way
through wasn’t the usual greatness displayed in a
movie that involved brad pit and a love interest, the
chemistry was nonexistent. Yes, the script involved
some good love story but the actors no matter how
hard they tried, the couldn’t pull off the chemistry
right.
The fact that the movie ends in the death of a character but in a unexpected manner is what resolved
the climax of the conflict in an interesting way.

I will not sugarcoat this, I slept through the movie. The movie was entirely about deciphering and
trying to understand the language of aliens. At
first, it was interesting, then half way through the
movie, I lost all interest and yet still struggled to
give it a chance or plenty but eventually gave up
when it kept going on in an endless series of event
that weren’t resolved at any point. It didn’t hold
my attention on any level that at no point until
today that I asked about the ending.
