That looks excellent. One for the big screen.
Emily Blunt (43) is looking better as she ages.

I will certainly watch it, and likely enjoy it. It does annoy me that so many extraterrestrial aliens are bipedal, two legs, to arms and a torso with a head on top.
Humans share 25% of our DNA with a banana. We don't look anything like a banana. Why would an extraterrestrial look so similar to humans. They have to have some appendages to manipulate their environment, and they can't live in a liquid environment because fire is needed to build a civilization. To refine metals, built electronics, and some sort of interstellar crafts to get them here from trillions of miles away.

Hard to portray aliens before special effects and CGI.

I think costumes and altered faces worked because it was hard to accept much different with our comfort level at the time. I believe the breakthrough was the Xenomorph in Alien, including its phase as a parasite. Great credit goes to H.R. Giger for that creation.

The aliens in Arrival were certainly different.

"Life" had a pretty interesting and convincing alien organism. "Contact" also cleverly avoided typical humanoid representations. Perhaps the best alien life representation was the monolith in "2001."
I have an increasingly difficult time suspending disbelief with any representation of alien life that is either laterally or radially symmetrical. And anything with a head is right out. But I'm guessing studio execs probably insist on showing the "monster" at some point in the film. So hopefully Spielberg has taken the "Jaws" route and held off as long as possible. If anyone would have carte blanche it would be him.

This reminds me a lot of a podcast I keep listening to late at night. "Skywatcher Stories" Good little alien stories to go to sleep by. Just don't look at your closet door.

Flipoer beat me to it, but Arrival was interesting. Not bipeds. And the linguistics angle...
