just read the short story its based on, its gonna be interstaller levels of "deep" aka plebs garbage.

it'll be pure kino

Feels like I've seen this movie ten times already. What a boring plotline.

meh

big black banana

theyll probably crib excessively from the china mieville novel about language and aliens or some other sci fi novel a shit or just do the typical hollywood sci fi shit

i.e. shit

>caring about plot
Full pleb

>muh fourth dimensional ayy lmaos and saving muh human race

Really tired of this shit. Remember when aliens just straight up attacked us in movies?

Any movie with pretentious narration like that gets discarded immediately.

Interstellar was the same way, if the lines are good you don't have to be melodramatic for them to have impact.

For anyone else who wants to read it, it's a nice short story.

That ginger bitch is a terrible actor

Probably going to be SJW propaganda where aliens are just scifi stand ins for poor refugees.

baby elephant calling mom > BRRRRMMMMMM

I don't understand why you would build a ship like that.

>district 9

looks retarded. At first I thought it was going to be a cool mystery horror flick but then it went all hurr aliens dindu nuffin.

i like the ship design and interior though

Hey fuck you, guy

>implying your pleb brain would understand the complexities of an alien race

hola reddito

BLACKED sponsorship

why wouldn't you?

who are you quoting famalamadingo?

To escape your dying planet, of course

If this is going to be our Winter, holy shit worst year in humanly recorded movie history, this is pretty insane actually, just bomb bomb bomb bomb. The Oscars should be interesting, good lord.

I'm so fucking hyped. I love Sci-fi kino

Literally kill yourself

#Triggered

>WWN see a big budget District 9 sequel

There is no god

Metaphorically end your life

Huh? What's your problem?

I can't wait for the army to finish switching over to the new camo pattern so I can stop having to see that horrible vomit inducing ACU/UCP shit on screen for every big budget Hollywood movie.

>that weightless, cheap CGI at the tentacle bit
>tentacle monster at all
JUST

Anybody find it incredibly unrealistic in these movies how there's always a bunch of warhawks who want to attack the aliens as a ticking clock to make the protagonists work faster?

In real life no country would be stupid enough to
1: Attack an enemy with vastly better technology than themselves, evident by their ability to travel interstellar distances
2: Make their own country the primary target of retaliation by initiating the first attack

Humanity may be xenophobic, but we at least value our own lives enough to not make suicidal attacks against vastly superior forces with no chance of victory. Hell, these alien ships could just take off into high earth orbit and drop chunks of rock or metal and the earth couldn't do SHIT and would get wrecked from the high velocity impacts. Humans would stand ABSOLUTE NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER against a species capable of interstellar flight and the generals would know it

CGI isn't a valid criticism of a movie.

They're actually amoeba things

>Dr. Louise Banks is enlisted by the military to communicate with a race of radially symmetrical aliens who initiated first contact with humanity. Woven through the story are remembrances of her daughter.

>The heptapods have two distinct forms of language. Heptapod A is their spoken language, which is described as having free word order and many levels of center-embedded clauses. Understanding Heptapod B, the written language of the aliens, is central to the plot. Unlike its spoken counterpart, Heptapod B has such complex structure that a single semagram cannot be excluded without changing the entire meaning of a sentence.

>When writing in Heptapod B, the writer knows how the sentence will end. The phenomenon of Heptapod B is explained by the alien's understanding of mathematics and Fermat's principle of least time.

>Dr. Banks's understanding of the heptapods' writing system affects the way she perceives time and suggests a deterministic universe where free will is exercised by not affecting the outcome of events. This is reflected by the tense used in the story's writing: a small portion of the story, at the beginning and the end, is written in the present tense, indicating that the story is being written at the time of the daughter's conception. The sections describing the interactions with the Heptapods is written in the past tense. The sections describing the daughter's life -- from birth to death and beyond -- are written in the future tense, because learning Heptapod B enables Dr. Banks to know her daughter's entire life even before she agrees to conceive her.

Alright how the fuck do they expect normies to understand this shit?

it's not a ship, its a telephone booth. the aliens arent really in it

>read the book XD

>Attack an enemy with vastly better technology

Nukes will destroy anything though. And why would you allow the enemy to gain a foothold?

>"What should we do about these ayyliums Commander?"
>"Just fucking nuke them"
>"But they're in a city"
>"WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO GAIN ANY FOOTHOLD"

>The phenomenon of Heptapod B is explained by the alien's understanding of mathematics and Fermat's principle of least time.

>Dr. Banks's understanding of the heptapods' writing system affects the way she perceives time

Stop posting

Hey /lit/ here, just your daily reminder you are all autisimo plebs.

'Story of Your Life' is a top tier sci-fi and if you don't care about the plot you should go back to watching your flicks.

Assuming the spaceships are capable of moving at relativistic speeds, which would be required to travel the distance between stars, then their hulls must logically be able to sustain hits from random bits of rock or hydrogen atoms floating through space. The force of a micrometeor striking a ship that's traveling near the speed of light would be many orders of magnitude more energetic than all of the Earth's nuclear bombs combined.

In other words, your nuke won't do anything but convince the aliens that you're violent and need to be wiped out.

Yeah a movie came out about exactly that a couple months ago and it was shit.

It has some interesting concepts, but not so interesting that I'll see it.

That's wrong. Think about the kind of ships humanity would send to space if we had to go really soon. They would be fragile constructs.

Studio meeting:

>"We need a new design for an alien space craft, something audiences have never seen before"
>"I've got it!"
>"Stay with me here guys"
>"What if"
>"What if we take a saucer"
>"And turn it 90°"

FUCK THIS GAY SHIT, I WANT TRANSFORMERS 5

yeah just nuke them when they are fucking every where in the world, what could go wrong

Ever since District 9 it's almost like studio execs have their own "epiphanies" and say Woah guys what if the aliens didn't have to be bad?

when you have enough energy for interstellar travel, things like aerodynamics are not that important

but muh dick wants her in every movie wtf?

>ship capable of traveling at the speeds required to reach another star system, more than 4 light years for the nearest

>fragile

pick one

>too original

Remember when you were tired of that shit as well?

You just don't get it.

It's a cultural thing. In the 60s "other"ness was bad. In the 2010s, "other"ness is good.

Movies are a window into the mainstream culture that made it.

So are heptapods just Tralfamadorians?

Not quite, but sorta wrong.

a hydrogen hitting something at light speed has the same energy behind it as a fastball.
Which is a LOT when you compare their size.

Now, if something large hit it, say a grain of sand, yes, that would be like a nuke going off.

I was until War of the Worlds in 2005 made it cool again.

>Remember when aliens just straight up attacked us in movies?
but people got sick of that shit as well

Do you think the Space Shuttle is fragile?

Or the ship could simply use a warp drive, which moves the universe around it while keeping the ship at zero velocity.

ITS LITERALLY YET ANOTHER RIFF ON THE 2001 MONOLITH, JUST MORE OF AN OBELISK THIS TIME

EVERY DIRECTOR WHO DOES A GRANDIOSE SPACE SCIFI HAS TO PUT IN SOME 2001 IMAGERY OR THEY WON'T LET HIM INTO THE AUTEUR CLUB

>implying one of the many nuclear-armed nations doesn't immediately and impulsively blow the fucker out of fear

wew lad

>Assuming the spaceships are capable of moving at relativistic speeds
warp drive nigguh

The movie Gravity seems to think so.

But the odds of hitting some random space debris are so small it becomes a non-factor.

well specifically I was referencing a micrometeor in the sentence about "all the earths nukes"

What would be the damage if they hit a rock the size of a grapefruit while traveling between galaxies at 0.9999999 c?

I've liked every movie Villanueve has put out so far but this looks and feels like a nolan movie

>>implying one of the many nuclear-armed nations doesn't immediately and impulsively blow the fucker out of fear


>he really thinks this would happen

damn, that's embarrassing

BEAN?

It's actually a bean
A real ayylmao bean

How the fuck are they supposed to translate this to film?

>warp drive

That is pure fantasy and doesn't have any basis in science.

this movie is racist, how do they expect us to understand this shit? they need to make them understandable for our people too.

Sounds kind of dumb.

Some young screen writer had a really cool little pet project that got butchered by some jews.
>hurr even though it's a movie about communication and intellect we have to have a ballsy protagonist and they have to save the fucking planet

Neither do aliums :^)

SPACE SHUTTLE IS DESIGNED FOR 0 TO 1 ATMOSPHERES, MOSTLY DUE TO LAUNCH WEIGHT RESTRICTION

ITS VERY FRAGILE COMPARED TO SAY A SUBMARINE WHICH IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND 60+ ATMOSPHERES OF PRESSURE BUT WEIGHS A FUCKTON

thanks

Yes it does. Physics postulates that nothing can move faster than the speed of light, but there is nothing to suggest that "patches" of the universe can't move faster than light with respect to each other. It already happens in the universe. Universal expansion is driving far away galaxies apart at speeds greater than light.

whoa keep the shutting to minimum mkay? this is a serene board.

Pretty sure the twist will be that what the humans thought was writing is actually the aliens pressing their dicks up against the window as a joke.

>unidentified spacecraft enters airspace

Alcubierre drive etc
I wish you high school science know-it-alls would read a fucking book and realise just how much fucking research is being done right now by various people
literally go on arxiv right now and read some shit and get educated
fucking anti-intellectual queers

kek sure thing kiddo

Oh fuck now I'm not so sure if I should be looking forward to this.

Didn't they already make a Movie about a rock like looking Space ship suddenly appearing hovering in the desert in which scientist get send in to find out more about it?

I don't remember the Name of it. Only that it had really Bad looking effects

>Physics postulates that nothing can move faster than the speed of light

mass theoretically can't move faster than the speed of light
there's a difference

What the fuck, why haven't we been firing submarines into space then?

This looks like an extremely rushed Photoshop job.
-At least some of the clouds in that sky would be in front of an artifact so large. Instead they're all magically behind, as if the artifact was pasted on top (because it was).
-The artifact should be affected by the foggy atmosphere that naturally occurs, especially above a sea. We see it in the background, the artifact is sitting on top of it, as if it was held right before your nose.
-Notice the clipped highlights of the clouds low near the horizon, they were quite likely not there in the original sky image. The artifact and the city below has instead unclipped highlights going to pure white, contributing to the "layers of separate images" look.
-The part of the city that should be in the shadow of the artifact doesn't look like it's in a shadow, just with reduced brightness.
-The primary source of light for the artifact seems to come front and to the right, and.. the shadow it drops is perpendicular to the light, instead of in the direction of the light behind the artifact...
And so on.
Naturally, the artifacts look great in the actual trailers, but someone really wasn't giving a fuck while doing this poster.

really makes you think

nigga u don't understand nigga
u don't pull the bucket of kfc towards u on the table
bitch u pull the tablecloth
fuck outta here with yo non-relativistic worldview

The next step was "they need us". Now they're so fuckin lazy they won't even explain the aliens in favor of muh 4th dimension universally transcendent biologically nonsensical telepathic communications.
