So I just watched Arrival for the first time. I mostly really liked it.

If you liked Arrival, I bet you'd like Contact w/ Jodi Foster. Have you seen it?

I did enjoy that and have seen it. Been a while though so revisiting would be

Watch the last 15 minutes of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It's pretty much the same movie.

No, this one. Watch it and tell me Arrival isn't just a cheap rip-off of this classic.

Yeah I agree with this clip. I think this is what the 3 Nephites do these days.

I love Arrival. It's easily a top 5 movie for me. And the score is amazing.

The movie Annihilation kind of has the same vibe as Arrival

Didn’t like annihilation at all, honestly. To each his own.

I think I remember the media roiling up hatred for the aliens who showed up without documentation. I am assuming that

Annihilation and Ad Astra

Gustav

12/13/19 3:56pm

Ad Astra was interesting with issues it addressed, but it was a really slow burn.

Turnpike Lane

12/13/19 4:04pm

And by slow burn you mean intensely boring and totally nonsensical plot.

CDV

12/13/19 4:08pm

*Bad Astra. I was rooting for the sun to go supernova by the end of the movie. It was visually stunning thats it.

As someone who has had a child pass away, this movie really affected me.

It was an intensely emotional movie for me, and I haven't lost a child. I can only

Interesting. Never in a million years would I have even considered any of that.

Nothing in Jeremy Renner's portrayal of that character led me to believe he'd do what he did offscreen in the "future"

Some thoughts on that

Good thoughts to keep in mind if I ever rewatch

I found nothing slow with Arrival. I was fully engaged throughout the movie.
