Your GF is wrong IMO.

Time is a flat circle in this movie. Time to the aliens is the present, past and future -- they view time all at once. So Amy Adams wasn't really "seeing" the future, she was living it which means she wouldn't be able to change the future.

A few examples to back this up:

-When Costello tells Amy that "Abbot is in death process" -- that's not past, present, or future tense. Abbot already knew he was going to die when he showed up to meet them when the bomb was planted.

-What the aliens said to the Russians who misinterpreted "There is no time, use weapon". They're telling the Russians time doesn't exist and to use the weapon which is the language they gave them.

While mostly I agree with you, that brings up other conundrums.

Spoiler!

In death process, implies that Abbott is both dead and alive. What you said sounds like it's directly from a reddit thread I read recently, but yeah.

I realize their perception of time is different but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it haha.

Anyway back onto reviewing other recent movies. I'm still waiting for reviews of fantastic beasts lol
