The movie introduces us to a sequence of events between a daughter and a mother. Then we slip back to the time where Amy is a language expert. The naive looking lost girl in Enchanted is all bold and determined in this movie. Who would have thought Giselle would go on an expedition this daring ;) Strange things begin to happen as the pods start hovering over Earth at 12 different cities. What does a language professor have to do with ETs you may think, but she happens to fit the bill perfectly. How Amy and Jeremy try to decode what the ETs (Heptapods here) are trying to convey forms the crux of the movie. Would they destroy us or have they come to warn us?
