I just finished watching it and i was impressed. It pretty much lived up to the hype as far as the high rating, and it exceeded my expectations in many other ways. For one, Adams definitely deserves an Oscar, and should at least receive a nomination. In addition, awesome set designs and direction within it. and finally, it was surprisingly moving at times with a solid score that draws you in outside of just the alien parts.
It's difficult to say where I would put this in a sense of comparing the quality of it with other similar movies. I think one person put it good on here- it's better than Interstellar, but not quite sure if it's better than Contact. It is right up there with Contact. The only problem I had really with this movie, and I'm picking here, is the end was a little bit cheesy, but that's just my opinion, and it didn't take away from what it accomplished for the two hours prior.
8/10 stars
