Dan H. Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If you haven't seen this movie yet, it is an absolute must watch. Like a blend of "Primer" and "Interstellar", Arrival weaves a perfect sci fi story, unmuddied by needless action and destruction. When aliens arrive on Earth, the government hires a linguist to try and solve the aliens complex language, and mysterious understanding of time. The mystery of what the aliens want and why they have arrived here is perfectly paced, revealing the right amounts of hints and clues at the right times, before wrapping up in an unexpectedly emotional and beautiful climax. Please do yourself a favor when going to the movies this season, ditch Marvel and Harry Potter and catch one of the greatest pure geeky sci fi films of the decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Damn, really wanted to see it last night but the times didn't suit. Saw Dr Strange instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I thought it was pretty good, preferred Interstellar but definitely worth checking out. I'd rank it above Prisoners, but Villeneuve blew me away with Sicario, Incendies and Enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the seminal (fnarrr fnarr) Linda Blair vehicle - Chained Heat (1983)? Edited November 23, 2016 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my #1 movie of the year although I think La La Land has the chance of beating it. Denis Villeneuve is really good. It does remind me a lot of Contact. ET not so much, in fact the only thing ET and Arrival have in common are aliens that aren't antagonists. ET is a light hearted adventure about childhood, but Arrival is heavy sci fi like Contact. La La Land looks very very good too. Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Went and saw it this morning. I liked it well enough, but I think the best way to state my feelings is I appreciated it a lot more than I actually enjoyed it. It was an incredibly well-crafted film...that I'm not sure if I'd ever want to watch again. Still, reading about some of the things I didn't pick up on on Reddit is really making me re-think a lot of the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 It is quite good, but I didn't find it pleasurable to watch. Obviously, this isn't the kind of sci-fi one watches for pleasure. Dennis V is among the best working today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lesbian scene between Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton that is pretty graphic. You should definitely go see it tonight!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
