Customer Reviews

A unique setting and an interesting premise. (Sapir-Wohorf Hypothesis)

The measure that sets true sci-fi apart from your average space cowboy movie is not shoot-em-up and ugly blood-sucking creatures; it is the human-to-human interaction in a situation. That is why “Star Trek” reruns and reruns. Even though this movie has unique creatures and so-so special effects (on purpose), this is really about the big questions, as if you knew that your child was going to die and the was no way to change that, would you go ahead and have the child? The film is based on the book “The Story of Your Life” By Ted Chiang. However, I have not read the book but have read other stories by the author and think the screenwriter Eric Heisserer adds a lot to the experience. Be sure to watch the DVD extras. This is a keeper, and you will want to watch it again. A side note: I had not heard the term Sapir-Wohorf, but I am a reader of Alfred Korzybski and his independently developed theory of general semantics.
