Fweethawt Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This new take on the old alien visitor movie probably isn't at all what you think. It's something much better. Plus, it has Amy Adams. I think this movie pretty much nails how simple and narrow minded most all of humanity's best minds can be, especially in times of perceived crisis. It also goes on to touch on (as best as any movie can) the concepts of the fluidity of time and how humans can expand their thinking if they could just learn to break through the mental barriers that only allow us to comprehend time as being linear. That's my take on it as of now. I will probably see this one several more times so I may better understand it. This movie is a real piece of art and very thought provoking. Plus, it has Amy Adams. It's in theaters now. Go see it! This is a thinking person's movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fweethawt Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Amy Adams you say... oh dear red heads are my Achilles heel She can make any man melt in his pants... Come back and give your opinion if you see it. I know I left the theater with a "What the fuck???", then I was like, "Oh!", then I was like, "Holy shit! That is pretty cool! Gotta see it again!"

Fweethawt Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Kinda spoiler-ish... Review: Aliens Drop Anchor in ‘Arrival,’ but What Are Their Intentions? -- http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/movies/arrival-review-amy-adams-jeremy-renner.html?referrer=google_kp&_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/ Arrival is a science-fiction parable in a distinctly more idealistic hopeful key than most movies in this genre, one in which the best solutions don’t necessarily materialize in a gun sight. It has a little action, a bit of violence and clenched-jawed jittery men. Mostly, it has ideas and hope, as well as eerie extraterrestrials who face off with a soulful linguist-heroine, Louise Banks (Amy Adams), the story’s voice of reason and its translator. She’s thoughtful, serious, at ease with her own silence and fears. She’d get along fine with Sandra Bullock’s character in “Gravity,” which like this movie leans into feeling and thinking, and reminds you again that there’s more to this genre than heavy artillery.

LifeCycle Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Saw it on Sunday. Loved it! Amy Adams!!! Agree with you on how it illustrates mans thinking during times of perceived "crisis." On another somewhat related note... I do agree with Hawking. We should not be trying to contact these beings. This movie is best case... Reality is, that hardly ever works out. But then again... Maybe we really are still that primitive and our lack of unity is a shining example of that and thus, that's why they won't talk to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
