DUDE CHINA AND RUSSIA HAVE GIVEN ULTIMATUMS NOT US PLUCKY YANKS THOUGH WERE TOO SMART FOR INTERSTELLAR WARFARE LMAO

DUDE CHINA AND RUSSIA HAVE GIVEN ULTIMATUMS NOT US PLUCKY YANKS THOUGH WERE TOO SMART FOR INTERSTELLAR WARFARE LMAO

I think you'd feel more at home in your echo chamber here:

America isn't a violent country

>It's another childhood's end episode

NWO multi cult propaganda.

Were never going to all tear down our borders and get along as one. Unless of course mass genocide happens first which is basically what they want.

Wtf I hate dull, lifeless, hamfisted Villenueve now! >:[

why did anyone think this was going to be good?

DUDE THE ONLY THING I CAN ARGUE ABOUT THE FILM IS LITERAL PLOT POINTS AND THE LOGICAL ORDER OF THE NARRATIVE WITH A SLIGHT SPRINKLE OF Sup Forums LMAO

>youre unstoppable sweetheart
>like the disease thats gonna fucking kill ya
wtf was wrong with this movie, why was amy adams such a psychopath

I hated the "I was destined to have this phonecall I will recite the information from a future memory" shit.

Everything else I liked but the time nonsense killed it for me.

What's wrong? One time paradox and you give up?

What about the fact that the Physicists character was completely useless and didnt contribute anything to the plot.
Especially since he could have been just as helpful by performing experiments within the spaceship and by asking about the aliens mathematics.

Just because OP made a half assed point doesnt mean the movie wasnt shit.

maybe if the aliens actually did something weird and seemly aggressive I'd buy into it, but the whole crisis felt extremely forced.

Reminder to anyone entering this thread, a screener of Arrival is out so keep in mind that everyone here has downloaded that 700mb file with abysmal 96kbps audio and they think they have a valid opinion about the visual medium.

And they most probably watched it on a 13 inch Toshiba laptop.

But that's the only thing that undoubtedly proves the time in her head was non-linear.

I watched it a while ago but he worked something out to do with like a percentage point I'm super fucking dumb but even i remembered that

>DUDE MOVIES ARE AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE CREATED BY EXACTING TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS YOU CAN'T CRITICISM THEM ON INTELLECTUAL LEVELS

>YOU CAN'T CRITICISM THEM
Well you certainly can't, you illiterate fuck.

>people in this thread didn't waste money going to watch this drivel hence I have a greater opinion

criticize

the word you want is criticize

how many times are you going to keep posting this?

nobody cares about your high graphix or CGI , we seen the plot which was trash.

What's wrong with Toshiba? It's miles ahead in quality of that chinkshit Lenovo

every movie looks pretty nowadays, it doesn't matter

DUDE SHILLING A SHITTY MOVIE LOL THAT IS VISUALLY LIFELESS

Yanks would've also wanted to go war wouldn't it have been for Amy Adams rogue actions. They were literally the only ones to detonate to really attack one of the shells.

that was just a bunch of soldiers gone rogue that detonated the bomb

>Doesn't understand the concept of intentional errors inserted into faux quotes
This is just getting pathetic.

You are doing the same damn thing as OP, discussing literal plot points after watching a film.

Most if these questions in Arrival threads are completely unimportant, for example "b-but what would the aliens need in 3000 years huh?"
Pro tip: It doesn't matter.
Explaining that part would just waste screen time and move away from the actual story.

The written narrative is just a device for the plot to propell forward through the visual narrative which is most important in a visual medium like film.

Go back to comic books my dear amigo friend.

Yeah that was the other bullshit. Heres what he did in that scene:

>He looked at a bunch of flat images arranged in a cloud.
>Flat images that by definition dont take up any space.
>He then judged based on eyesight alone that "1/12 of the space in the cloud is occupied with signs", which as mentioned before is complete nonsense.
>The 1/12, he thought, refered to how they need to work together with the nations with the other 11 spacecraft.
>It didnt, because in the end they were able to see the future even without cooperating with the others.

I felt like this was supposed to lead somewhere, but then that somewhere didnt make it in the final cut, but they forgot to also delete that scene.
Maybe a directors cut or something will shed some light on how this character was supposed to be, and I hope for the sake of Villeneuve and Blade Runner that it will...

yeah that scene was bizarre. i thought she was going to make something up not tell her 6 year old that death was coming for her.

We all know who really made that call

Before Sup Forums leeches shill more in this thread, just know that your far right lord and saviour Armond White absolutely loved Arrival and basically sucked Villeneuve's cock in the review, just as he did while reviewing Sicario.

Carry on.

>go to doctors
>doctors say if you have a baby it will live to around 15 then die of an untreatable disease
>you decide to hide this information from your husband and have the kid
wtf

>that subtle hint of female president at beginning
LMAO

If I dislike badly written characters would I really like comic books?

And while I agree that film is a visual medium forst and foremost, if the plot is so bad that it prevents me from enjoying the visuals I will criticize the film for it.
Same happened with Interstellar. Beautiful movie, but the plot completely ruined it.

i thought it was implied they were actually the two aliens?

;_;

Who said that Amy Adams character is a perfect human being with supreme morals?

I don't understand posts like this, why should every main character in a movie make flawless decisions?

They were also ready for warfare. Secretary of Defense even ordered to bomb Abbot and Costello.
Don't believe that one army man who said it was one of the crazies who watched too much Sup Forums. They always push the blame to someone when the mission fails.

They were just holding back because the main character is from their nation. If this was made in Japan, China is US and she calls Trump, who is almost ready to push the launch button, to say his dying wives' last words.

>implying free will exists

Anyone else think the aliums looked like Ing?

I wanna see a movie like this except the alien spacecrafts don't land in the US, and then all the entitled US military and scientists get butthurt cause they don't get access

They had to switch to their human form cause humanity was too stupid.

its not a flaw its pretty much psychopathic to intentionally deceive your husband like that and have a child you know will die from a painful disease

>Alien shit arrives in some backwater third world shithole
>Local government forces their unqualified science team to work on it
>The science team wants outside help from specials around the world
>Government backroom deals and politics ruin any chance of success
>They kill some key member to stop them from blabbing to the outside world
>Whole thing is a botch and all potential good is lost due to incompetence of government
Actually sounds pretty good.

1/12 of the space in the cloud was occupied with a symbol for time. Time-symbol caught his eye, it was porn in a collage of photos for a physicist.
The goal was not for just the teacher to see the future. The aliens still needed everyone to cooperate and learn the language, not just her, because the payment will not be settled in another 3,000 years.

Also she can't have kids, so John Connor will not come from her lineage.

You should watch anime or read manga, specifically mechs. Unless you do not like cartoons, then there are live-action adaptations.

Whats the quality like on the leaked screener? Is it watchable?

Just read the fucking short story

It's only ~30 pages long, and doesn't have all the stupid war plot.

>china is literally the one who saves the day
>being this buttblasted because slavs are nigger tier

>Entire point of Heptapod-B is that it's made of complex calligraphy that can't possibly be drawn unless you know what the entire sentence is in advance
>In the movie it's just circles with bumps, branches, and curls
>The humans are literally able to linearly draw the symbols using computers, while talking about how impossible it is to linearly understand them

>1/12 of the space in the cloud was occupied with a symbol for time
Disregarding the fact that they were still two dimensional objects, which could not possibly occupy any part of three dimensional space, which is ok with me because whatever, its a movie, it doesnt have to make mathematical or physical sense:

The thing is still that is was evidently possible to learn the language enough to see the future, since thats what Amy Adams did.

Best first contact scene in cinema history.

Villeneuve is truly a tension master.
So much built tension and atmosphere and Amy Adams freezing right at the point of contact and a sudden jump cut to the decontamination chamber which is almost like a jump scare to the viewer, allowing us to finally breathe just like the character we were following.

There was no need to show what happened because we already know they failed to communicate or interact in any sort of way.

Where others would fully show the aliens in the first scene and lose all the built up tension, Villeneuve knows how to use it in his favor to deliver even more impact with the following scenes of the movie.

Perfect tension build and release dynamics.

My sides left the milky way

What was the fucking point of the Heptapods having a giant long body?

Why did they not have eyes, which was actually a good foreshadowing in the story?

WHY THE FUCK WEREN'T THEY CALLED FLAPPER AND RASPBERRY?!

>"In the film’s production notes, Villeneuve mentions wanting to capture the feeling of standing next to a blue whale or an elephant — awe, but not necessarily fear. He also says his crew stayed away from the idea of making the heptapods look like humans in any way, because he believes humanoid aliens are intrinsically scarier to viewers."

yes, with tumours

>didn't want to make them look like humans
>so instead of making them look like 7 legged spiders, like how they are shown from behind the screen, he made them long with the legs on the bottom, and faced the camera towards the top, where the face would be on a human

BRAVO

Possible yes, maybe there are tens or hundreds of people who has the same qualifications as the teacher. There are 7 billion people on earth after all.

But the aliens they left as soon as they knew that she was on her way to complete understanding of the language. Disregarding that other 10s or 100s.

They either like her a lot because she's cute, or they studied Dijkstra's papers and found that she was the shortest possible route that they found to accomplish their goal.

Hive-CM8 is the superior screener of the two that are out there. Very watchable!

What a dumb fucking thing to complain about

I mean seriously, look at this shit

And both look different from the description in the short story. I think the 360 degree face would give them a much more alien feel.

DUDE SCREENER FAGS LMAO

LOL

If he didn't want them to look human and imposing what the fuck was this scene?

>>Alien shit arrives in some backwater third world shithole

he said not in america you tard.

>implying the chinese wouldnt just try to boil the aliens alive for food

>why did the aliens look alien

But they didn't you fucking idiot. They looked alien at the start but the long body made them look more humanoid.

>But they didn't

That's how they look in the story, not the movie.

In the movie they have a giant human proportion body on top and no 360 degree eyes

which series is about this?

so humans with octopus bodies isn't alien too you?

>it's the visuals faggot again

The visuals were not that great. Certainly not enough to excuse the plot.

less alien than heptapii without human bodies

The fact that their true form is shown in a dramatic reveal in the end makes it dumber, like them looking humanish is what lets the linguist understand them

>DUDE I ONLY DOWNLOAD 20GB MOVIES BECAUSE ONLY THAT IS GOOD ENOUGHF OR MY PRETENTIOUS FAT BODY LMAO

>dude i have mental problems that prevent me from being able to comprehend narratives without finding inconsequential flaws to focus on

>forgetting the 'lmao' because your so booty blasted
lol at your life

>most replies genuinely disagree with this post

This board truly is populated by retards

I felt really bad when I saw that, though it was expected

his logic is you can't give an opinion on a film you haven't seen at a cinema. If you agree with that youre a moron

this

But he isn't saying that you should watch every movie in a cinema to give an opinion. His logic is that if you watch a movie in bad conditions, the experience is going to be altered. I dare you to tell me that watching a movie in a cinema, on bluray on a decently sized screen and as a screener on a laptopt will have the same result. Cinema isn't only about plot points.

F

IIRC the AMERICAN soldiers were the only ones to actually ATTACK the thing

whats wrong with toshiba?

>tfw you won't travel the stars no more with your abbrott

HUMANITY, I

>And remember what happened to the aborigines. A more advanced race nearly wiped 'em out.

What did he mean by this?

Except the Americans were the only ones that placed a bomb and try to blow it up. Everyone else was just stroking their dicks with how much celeb status they were getting over their spoken word.

>3 soldiers doing their personal choice ignoring superior commands is the same as declaring war
americans pls

Best movie 2016, not that it was a great year, but this movie was fucking good.

I feel like most people here don't like the story because it feels unrelateble to them.

Maybe if the aleinz went to war with everyone and destroyed everyone but USA and USA won over them, then maybe Sup Forums would be happy:


Fucking degenerates.

WHY NOT MARIO AND LUIGI

If I were a billionaire, I'd fund by myself a movie about Trump and Sup Forums reacting to an alien landing.

bit like real life.

china and russia on the warpath while the yanks put a clown in charge

I was thinking about this while watching Arrival.

Donald Trump would be either the absolute BEST or the absolute WORST president to speak with aliens. I think it depends on the situation and what the aliens want but it's one of those two outcomes- no middle ground.

>aliens come to earth
>clearly they are technologically much, much more advanced than us to even reach us
>ever thinking it'd be a good idea to attack or try to damage them under any circumstance if they have not shown a single sign of actual hostility
>even if they were hostile it'd still be dumb to do something like launch nukes at them

I still don't understand if that dude was actually her divorced husband, he even asks her if she has been married.
Time travel is always illogical, even when it's limited to thoughts.

le wut

>think shes a miserable loner because of her childs death
>turns out childs death was in the future
so she was just naturally a miserable loner?
