For me personally, there's been a star deduction from the fact that the movie here and there a bit too much to lose in the images and the plot which would be left alone is a bit meager. Here absent just something intellectual background. In particular, on the alien being whose origin and deeper intentions on Planet Earth among the people. So it feels a bit threadbare placed.
Since "Lost in Translation" I am excited about Scarlett Johansson and follow their work. Would not that, I might have turned off the film after the first few minutes (or its existence not at first registered)! In retrospect, from today's perspective, this would be a fatal mistake!
