It is directed by French- Canadian Denis Villeneuve, who made the superb Emily Blunt drugs thriller Sicario and is now directing the sequel to Blade Runner.

The army, in the form of Forest Whitaker, recruits Louise and physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) to try to make contact with the aliens and interpret their language. For every day, the shell opens and, at the end of a kind of alien birth tunnel, behind a bright screen of light, there they are: two of them, more or less giant squid or octopi (in fact, heptapods, which don’t exist here) with grainy elephant skin. Their rumbling speech is unintelligible but Louise has the idea of trying written language — and, in squiddy ink, they produce complex circular signs which she begins to understand. While the armies of the world are moving towards attack, Louise finally understands that it is their very language that they have come to give, because language determines thought. Their language also transcends time, giving Louise an insight into her own future. Compellingly made, this is science fiction of substance, which is promising for the forthcoming new Blade Runner — even if, in the end, it takes us back to our own earthbound hopes and sorrows.
