Thoughts on Arrival?

Literal capeshit

Arrival is practically capeshit. The film was made so middlebrow viewers like you can tip your film buff hats and be tricked into feeling like you're a somehow more discerning viewer, appreciating the medium on a level beyond the plebes, but it's normiecore schlock all the same. This film was Nolan level spoonfeeding trash, Villeneuve just hasn't gotten to the point where his name has become unfashionable yet.

decent Star Trek episode
pretty movie

>capeshit
Where did this meme come from?

It tried to be smart but wasn't smart enough to come up with a good ending so it added superpowers for ebin twist value

absolute kino
but meh story

So by your definition every single sci-fi story is capeshit?

kino

If it has a person with superpowers that they use to save the day then yes.
Name one movie that fits that description that isn't capeshit

Reminder the people who think they're smart for getting the "twist" are the same people who can't suspend their disbelief about the whole "study alien language, gain non-linear perception of time" thing.

I wish that boring fuck Jeremy Renner wasn't in it.

Pro-choice btfo

There are no superpowers in the movie.

her ability to understand is superhuman

It was better than I thought it was going to be.

I hate military fetishization shit.
Spent long enough living in that crap irl.

Good for you, for me it was the opposite. And I didn't even have any expectations.

The music made me cry

Villeneuve Kino. Watch it

I have it on my phone. It's fucking epic.

It is explained through science. It is not a superpower. Regardless as Clarke was quoted to say
>Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Better than TLJ, worse than Brick.
Won't be cheking out his other films.

>Won't be cheking out his other films.
You have to realize it was based on some retarded book, Villeneuve didn't write it. But then again, I would assume he read the book before signing the movie, so I don't know.

Wrong guy

oops, brain fart

>child is going to get cancer and die
>have them anyway

Isn't that evil?

i am so tired of them using that ugly ginger cunt, superman, the arrival, nocturnal animals - why the fuck do they keep using her? she's just maggie gyllenhal level of ugly and nobody ever brings it up

shit

Yes, that's a good description of Arrival

Wow the one movie I didn't think could go over anyone's head went over your head

>she's just maggie gyllenhal level of ugly
She's a level above her, maybe even 2

>hurr durr human

>she's just maggie gyllenhal level of ugly and nobody ever brings it up

lmao fuck off with that bullshit. She's no 10/10 but she's cute.

If I knew I was going to die of cancer at 17 I would still want my parents to have me

Shitty premise, logic holes the size of Mt Olympus, superb cinematography.

I'm a translator by trade so the whole figuring out the alien language aspect was very fascinating to me, even if the actual linguistic approach was kind of misguided. But sci-fi, liberties can be taken.

She pleased o russell and this is her reward

first half is 9/10
second half is 5/10

A bit like Life.

>she's cute.
not with that pointy nose

From a certain point of view having kids at all is evil

But if we accept time as a 4th dimensional "space" that we humans access in a linear fashion due to the limitations of our being 3D entities, then you can't change the future even if you know what it'll be because it already happened

...

Pointy noses are cute. I'd agree with you if she had a big nose hump, or very broad nose, but pointy nose is fine.

You're fucking crazy.

I think Contact did it better. I really couldn't understand how she was able to decipher the alien language and they really glossed over it.

If she can see through time, does that ultimately make her a Mary Sue? That's the feeling I kinda got after watching it.

It had too few and too mediocre ideas somehow turned into a fair approximation of kino by one of the best filmmakers of today

But wasn't she a linguist

So being good at something she was established being good at???

>If she can see through time, does that ultimately make her a Mary Sue?
No because you don't know what a Mary Sue is.
