Erik Bates: “It ruled.”

I went into this expecting some sort of re-hashed take on Close Encounters or (heaven forbid) Independence Day.

What I found was a thoroughly engaging, thought-provoking sci-fi movie with a twist I wasn't expecting, and that managed to keep itself hidden (at least to me) until near the end.

Oh, and that Max Richter opening. That song just gives me chills.

Evie Totty: GAH! I wanted to see that this past weekend but it wasn't showing at my local anymore! I'll have to watch at the dollar I guess >. − January 3, 2017 • more by Evie
