Beautiful twist, near the end, with Louise being able to see the future and that the entire mother daughter story we were seeing throughout the film had yet to unfold. And as hard as it was to follow through with her future, knowing that her daughter was going to die at such a young age, she still made her choice because she wanted every moment with her. I thought the reason why she was so depressed in the film was because her daughter had already died. Surprisingly good.

Time isn't linear or else the Chinese-code isn't possible. The entire explosion is sloppy, feels like a scene (or three) is missing, and isn't mentioned ever again. Odd.
Enjoy these words, for one day they'll be gone All of them. -

Recites the future Chinese phrase perfectly but cannot see the simple, C4 explosion that kills Abbott. Surprisingly poor.
Ah don't we all love it when the ADD/mentally challenged crowd watch an intelligent movie and starts criticizing it? In case you didn't know, those two events took place at entirely different points in the movie, one where she had just started to grasp the language (which is why at first she heard only sounds, or had vivid dreams), and the latter when she had been working on the language for months!
Grow a brain, fool.
