So, I watched the film. It's not hard core Sci Fi, but romantic Fantasy set with Aliens.
What I am confused about is why the Aliens landed in the first place. From what I gathered it's because in 3,000 years they will need help from Humans and in 2016 give them the gift of prescience which allows humanity to survive 3,000 years more to eventually help them.
What I am beyond confused with is why technologically advanced aliens, who live in a non-linear time line would need help from humans when they can just see their own future and adjust for a different outcome. If you can't affect the future then what's the point of knowing it? Also, I'm sorry but the gift of prescience by learning their language is going to UNIFY humanity? Please. Most of humanity would use the gift to win the lottery.
I feel that the message is to not have regrets in life because if you could go back and do it all again, you'd do the same thing. Which is bull crap. If I could go back 40 years and do it all over again I would pretty much do EVERYTHING differently again.
Only emotional saps will find this movie enjoyable.
