I absolutely love good UFO flicks. Fire in Sky, Contact, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Dark Skies, etc.
Of course not all of them are good. This film however reminds me more along the lines of Contact or even Arrival.
Not a lot of action and more drama but it's the subtle hints of life beyond earth that makes it interesting enough to watch. However, it could have been a lot better imho instead of focusing around the FSC.
