Well, though it looks visually spectacular upon seeing the trailer, there is a little too much CGI and quirky creatures that are not quite believable to me. I don't know why but fantastical creatures never sit quite right with me, for the most part. But, after that I read the story also on the official site and that made it sound a lot more interesting. I just wish there was finally a film with supposed aliens that didn't look either slimy and gruesome (not the case here) or like their face was as smooth as a baby's bottom (check).
Guess I'll have to watch it to decide.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
