Weber (Forest Whitaker) because the U.S., as well as the rest of the nations that received the landings, need to communicate.\u00a0 Should the world be on a war footing?\u00a0 Are the aliens friendly?\u00a0 Much depends on Dr. Banks\u2019s chat with two of these folks from a ship that is 1,500 feet high, needed to house the passengers who are some twenty feet tall themselves.\u00a0 With their octopus-like tentacles the heptapods speak, but what comes across is a loud whine.\u00a0 So Banks depends on their writing, which looks like circular inkblots.\u00a0 She somehow figures out that their written language does not have a logical syntax, but when she makes out the word \u201cweapon,\u201d the army is on alert.\u00a0 What does \u201cweapon\u201d mean?\u00a0 Banks has the assistance of theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), which signals to the audience that we may be in for a romantic interlude.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Adams, a busy actress who will play a key role in revenge drama \u201cNocturnal Animals\u201d to be released November 18, conducts herself with appropriate restraint, regularly cooling the heels of countries around the world who are ready to blast the oval spaceships but who allow her considerable time to parse the visual, hieroglyphics-like language of the visitors.\u00a0 She benefits from Louis Morin\u2019s visuals effects to create a Spielbergen sense of wonder.\u00a0 But patience is required.\u00a0 Banks meets too many times with the visitors, each time learning just small degrees of knowledge, but eventually proves to use her knowledge in acquiring a wisdom that she shares with the world.<\/p>\n<p>Filming took place in Quebec, which is the director&#8217;s home province.\u00a0 Ted Chiang\u2019s collection that includes \u201cStory of Your Life\u201d is available at Amazon for under $10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 116 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story
