Why did they tell her they need our help in three thousand years without expanding on why?

Spoiler: show

they can communicate telepathically. They put that image in her head of her daughter and showing her an explosion is about to happen.

But what did any of that have to do with the 3,000 year issue?

How long have we had written language and translatable between the written languages among our different nationalities across earth?


This film might need a sequel.

Spoiler: show

they said they need our help in 3000 years, but didn't elaborate at all on how or why, they just left that hanging out there, and it really didn't have anything to do with the story

Spoiler: show

you give the spoiled brats of humanity America Russia and China access to time travel what does that mean for causality? It would be never ending ripples and disasters.

I don't think that's right. They don't communicate telepathically. If you understand their language, you can perceive time the way they do, non-linearly. As she learned more about them, she got more and more snippets of her future. It wasn't until the end when she fully understood their langugage that she understood that what she was seeing was her future. She began to experience time non-linearly.

My impression is that the aliens needed to come now, despite not needing help until 3000 years from now, is because now is when Amy Adams is alive. And she's the only one smart enough to figure out this language and begin the process of teaching it to humans. I guess the aliens will need human help, but we can only help them if we understand them or understand time in the way they do.
