What makes it exhilarating as sci-fi is that, like Arrival, it's not about scientific knowledge as a unified system, but about the differences embedded within the sciences, in this case, between biology and psychology. The script, on the other hand, isn't nearly as methodical and didactic as Arrival's, which means that you'll have to parse these differences by meddling through a propulsive yet opaque narrative arc.
