Then again, I knew *nothing at all* about this moving going into it, except that it was about aliens. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I loved the story, the acting, the VFX, the sound , etc. I especially love how it was shot.
And wow!!!! Its nominated for 8 Oscars!
Arrival - Awards - IMDb
I didn't know that until just now.
I don't know if its best movie of the year or best directing etc, but I would say maybe Best Cinematography?
Anyway, if you like Sci-Fi and are tired of the senseless action sub-genre and want some good brain candy, Check out Arrival. Worth seeing in the theatre. |
If you like Sci Fi then its worth a watch, its 1hr 45m, not the end of the world. I'm not into Sci Fi tho but I like Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner so figured it would be worth the watch, I was wrong.
I did watch The Girl On The Train last night and that is a must watch movie, especially if you haven't read the book and like me did not know the plot of the movie because it swings like crazy. My wife had read the book and was loving watching me try to unravel it all and figure out who did what. Great movie.
