it still makes me wonder what the Aliens gained from this...

they said in 3 thousands years the humans would help them, but was Amy Adams character the only human able to see/understand them, or was that field of language and perception of time opened up to every one?

it's also an odd exploration of free will that is as equally convoluted as it is simple?

even with that little nagging it was so well paced, and the tension was tight, and the tone of the film so clear. DV really is near the top of the directors class IMO, right now
