I hate this logic. If you don't like something I like, you must not understand it!
Puhleez. This movie was not at all hard to understand.

The fact that the OP claimed it was nonsensical proves the OP didn't understand it. It's not nonsensical at all unless one failed to understand what happened.

Completely agree. With this film it happens to me the same as with Interestellar. Most of the film is really good serious sci-fi, but those last 30 minutes
Film begins to fail when they use future to explain the past -

Not sure how anyone can fail to appreciate one of the better mainstream films of the year. That the protagonist is a whip-smart, courageous, loving mother is clearly off-putting to some. I was never bored for a second and the film makes perfect sense if you pay attention and appreciate the artful play with time and chronology. One of the best adapted screenplays of the year.

No one cares about this. Sci Fi fans have had tons of strong female protagonists.. in fact.. it was really the first genre to have them.. Ripley and Sarah Connor for example.
This movie took an amazing concept (that has been done before) and failed to tell an interesting story with it. -

Yes, because fiction didn't exist until 1979. Are you kidding?

I completely disagree. I think it told a more interesting story than most sci-fi films we've been getting. It's not a bang bang kill em all kind of movie, and that's perfectly fine. Sci-fi doesn't have to become an action movie.

She is, actually. "Yet" is a concept derived from how we perceive time. Once she truly begins to understand their language, "now" has significantly less meaning to her. Her mind essentially becomes like Dr. Manhattan.
She's courageous and loving exactly because she chooses the same path, knowing the pain and heartache it will lead to.

There are other ways to make Sci fi movies. We as a society are so bombarded with action action action. This one makes us slow down and appreciate a story. It was suspenseful if you truly paid attention. I loved it. Thought it was a lovely change of pace beyond the dozens of remakes and sequels, etc.

This, right here. People seem to be obsessed with the idea of action sci-fi being the only kind of sci-fi there is. Not the case.

If Interstellar(2014) can get 8.6, this may get 8.1 or more easily. Because they are similar at core but this one did not irritate me much like Interstellar even I generally do not like any inconsistent, mind-bending, illogical by nature, time travel thingies.
Well, what were you really expecting? You know, they couldnt use huge nukes on aliens because they landed, right ? -

You really think the government wouldn't nuke us to stop a percived threat? Lol civilians are nothing more than collateral damage. They wouldn't even hesitate. They would justify it by saying "What's a few thousand, hundred thousand, million compared to saving hundred million or a billion?" I don't think you truly understand how expendable we are to our own countries.

You really think detonating nuclear warheads in the US and elsewhere is a smart idea? Especially when we have no idea if it would even have an effect? Frankly, you're stupid if you think world governments would be so stupid to start a war with an alien race without even attempting to make contact.
How the government justified it would be irrelevant. We'd be wiped out regardless of their reasoning. I don't think you truly understand the technological gap between humans and a species capable of bridging the gap between stars.

This is the government we are talking about, smart ideas are out of the question. Did you even watch the movie? If you did, did you miss the part where China, Russia, Iran and even America were preparing to attack the creatures? That was all over a simple missunderstanding. If conventional didn't work, nuclear would follow.
