CriticsCritics: 88
AudienceAudience: 8.0

After alien crafts appear around the world, a skilled linguist joins a military-led effort to communicate with their mysterious occupants. As international tensions rise, she must work carefully to understand their language and intentions before fear turns the encounter into a global crisis.

My take

You’ll like this if you prefer thoughtful, atmospheric science fiction such as Contact or Interstellar; Not for you if you want fast action, constant suspense, or a straightforward alien-invasion story.
