    The most sci-fi part of the movie was how all the governments on Earth had their best experts working on communicating and sharing information. The most realistic part was how they stopped sharing data and some religious nationalist dipshit tried to kill everyone.

    For those who haven’t, please consider reading the short story on which it is based by Ted Chiang.

    Villeneuve made a number of changes, but there is one in particular that may (or may not) reframe your perception of a character in a notable way. Also, read everything else by Ted Chiang!

    There are also a number of popular media articles on how the language piece was developed for depiction on screen.
