*Bad Astra. I was rooting for the sun to go supernova by the end of the movie. It was visually stunning thats it.
The rest of the movie was a terribly paced convoluted artsy-fartsy piece masquerading as science fiction.

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

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

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

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

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

In all seriousness, what do you mean by demonization of conservative media?

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"

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