They have arrived. Vast alien spacecraft touch down across the world, silent monoliths containing unknown inhabitants. Why are they here, and what do they want? It’s up to expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) to attempt communication, translation and salvation on behalf of Planet Earth. Will she bring us closer to mutual understanding, or simply closer to total annihilation? What follows is almost impossible to explain or comprehend, but will tilt your worldview ever so slightly and overwhelm you with the enormity of the universe. Forget lasers, guns and Area 51 – this is a highly intelligent and curious film, with breathtaking cinematography.
