Really good movie..
Nolan still did it better
Naw, not sure its better. Think it will be more re-watchable than this. Arrival has stayed on mind longer than Interstellar did when I left the theater though..
Although that ending was just

Precise and cold hearted
They explained the ending as I understood it in the theater , but I'm still not seeing what made it such a great film.
I was afraid I didn't understand this flick but I know I did. it was sad, but that's about it.
I don't wanna open that can but Interstellar definitely had more spectacle. But it also had 3x the budget.Really good movie..

Interstellar tried to do more things. Probably (definitely) too many things at once...
Still, the scene with breh checking his messages had more emotion than anything in Arrival.
I'm still feeling slighted. Once I understood where the ending was going, once I understood the gravity of it - and its not some hard to understand thing - I was waiting for Amy Adams to bring it home. The director, cinematographer, and writer laid out the perfect stage for guts to get wrenched but it never happened. There was simply a point in the movie where things intertwined. The emotion and passion was just simply absent in this movie. The kid is the best part but she's a device, not a player.
No doubt, expect it failed at practically* everything else. *theoretical astrophysics aside.

I just got out the theater, sitting in my car typing this, this is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen
Any link to see this movie
I already have the UHD pre-ordered :smugnolan:
breh.. this movie was...just,
the sound design was incredible the film was very immersive. I felt the tension and anxiety Louise was feeling in that first meeting. The deep bass sounds the heptapods were making vibrated through my body. I REALLY appreciated this take on what an Alien species could look like. The heptapods seem both earthlike yet completely alien at the same time. As with Villineuve, the movie was at times depressing and dark but at the same time beautiful. The camera work and direction were top notch. The music done by Jóhann Jóhannsson was fan-fukking-tastic. Amy Adams acted her motherfukking ass off I loved her. I forgot what she could do with a good script, thank you for that Batman VS Superman, she was really amazing in American Hustle as well. The movie made me think about life and I just can't say the same for many other films. This film is so much different then Interstellar and comparison is the death of joy.

Because Interstellar is a blockbuster. This is a very grounded sci-fi drama.
