    i'd be fine with it if I wasn't convinced that foreseeing the future means anything you do will end up differently from what you saw, meaning what you saw wasn't the future as in the end it didn't happen after all
    even if you tried to replicate what you saw in the future, you will fail to get a 100% synchronization with what you saw because you have seen it and try to replicate it

      Imagine your present relied on your past happening exactly how it did. Which it does.
      It's the same for the aliens.
      Imagine your present relied on someone travelling into the past and causing the present to be just he way it is. You don't know this because you're not able to see time.
      It's the same for the aliens. Except they're able to see time.

          Dude.. There is several things that went over your head.. Let me explain:

          1. Maybe Costello knew what would happen, but sacrificied himself well knowing for the greater purpose. A little like when Louise choose to get her daughter even though she will lose her at a young age.
          2. General Chang knows his wifes dying words all along.. The twist is that LOUISE didn't know until the general tells her at the ball And then again.. She does.. Because she learned to percieve time differently You know Its not like the general hears it for the first time when Louise tells it..
            There you go.. Now it really IS a 8.1, right?
            As for telling the husbond. Well.. I see that as a "cliffhanger".. An open ending maybe, and where our understanding for timetravel is up for discussion.. Maybe she does tell him, but maybe she choose not to. And is she predestined to do so, or can she make another choice?

            The paradox is the point that people sure will want to plunder the spaceships and army should protect aliens from humans.

              This is some serious pretentious peace of crap. I saw the whole movie and it was remarkably slow, boring and it killed my IQ.
              I am a writer of Historical Fiction and I know how huge pain in the arse it is to keep the story flowing and how to avoid the plot holes.
              However, there was no effort put into this script, nor the story.
              Whomever greenlit this should stop working in movie business.

                yeah, sureyou're a writer. One with terrible grammar, and one that doesn't know the word greenlit from "grinlit" which isn't a word. I'm sure your writing is wildly popular.
                If I was stupid and didn't understand a movie I wouldn't like it either. But maybe open you're mind up to the idea that it is you that is stupid, and not the writers and producers of this film.

                  First of all, English is not my first language. I speak 5 languages. How many languages are you fluent in?
                  Secondly, when all you do is point out the grammar and insult that shows that you have no arguments and that your intellectual level is subpar.
                  Thirdly, if you think that you sound sophisticated by saying that "those who do not understand the movie don't like it", you are sadly mistaken. We know the difference between quality movies with a message and pretentious crap that people like you glorify in order to feel important about their pitiful, empty lives.

                    Sure. I totally believe you, dude.

                    You realize that is exactly no different from your "criticism" of this film, right? That you offered no constructive criticism.

                      There probably are some holes in the story, but as a linguistics student, I was so excited and positively surprised that the protagonist is a linguist and that actual theories like the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis were used. That's one of the reasons why I personally liked this movie a lot.

                        It's hard to take your intellectual criticism seriously when you wrote "peace of crap" instead of "piece of crap." I'm guessing your IQ was nothing to be proud of prior to walking into the movie. The fact that you claim to be a writer is beep hilarious!

                          they bought critics and they made fake good reviews on imdb and Rotten Tomatoes, simply and easy
                          new reviews from ordinary people are not that good, most of them gave movie 1 🙂

                              Really? You're an idiot if you believe that. If that were the case, why did WB not do the same thing to artificially bolster BvS abysmal Rotten Tomato score?
                              "Ordinary people" gave it bad reviews because they're not very smart. Every negative thing I've seen people saying is a result of failing to actually understand what they were presented with.

                                Only a person with no arguments points out the grammar. I guess you need a safe space snowflake. When you will actually have something to say, get back to me. But for that, you will need to grow up a bit.

                                        I liked the movie until the nonlinear time fix arrived and all too conveniently fixed all the problems. Very anticlimactic.

                                          Its very easy: its nonsense written by a screenwriter. They are trying to sell tickets, and did. How else do you end an alien movie when they have been done so many times before..uhOKlets do some nonsense about time travel and ideas and show her kid alot and show language stuff blah blahinteresting ideas, completely unrealistic in how it is done in the film. Even if they could tell the future, they can't implant MEMORIES of the future into her head. Its not possible. All they could do is maybe write out their language and convey that even a novels worth in a few seconds, but not actual moments of human memory. Butthat would not be as interesting on film so they wanted to get some nice cinematography and show the little kid and some nice nature shots and blah blah blahcomplete nonsense by the ending.
                                          I liked most of the movie but the ending was pretty stupid and just nonsense by a screenwriter to sell ticketsto unintelligent human beingsabout things imagined by a screenwriterwhose job is to write imaginary thingsto sell movie tickets lol
