THE CULTURE WARS ARE A ROUT:

When expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is called to communicate with aliens who are hovering menacingly over earth in several large aircraft, she coaxes from them inscrutable inkblot-like glyphs that amount to written language. Learning this language is essential to decoding the purpose of the aliens' visit, which in turn will determine whether humanity should attack the aliens, a move that could be such a disaster that it would risk our own extermination in the process.

Louise explains that learning a new language alters the internal architecture of the brain. In this case, the changes give her the power to foresee the feature.

Suddenly, Louise knows that she will have a child in the future and when she does, things will go awry. But instead of changing her fate and abstaining from motherhood, she goes ahead anyway.
