Villeneueve has a talent for making emotionally complicated films, I think Blade Runner is a great fit. I didn't like this movie, but the problem was the story and writer, not the director.
Also, You don't need to be rude about it. -

At least its not unrealistic comedy crap like The Martian was. Honesty, any movie that tries to be serious and thoughtful like Arrival or Interstellar always gets labelled pretentious. Its actually laughable that people have forgotten the meaning of the word.

I agree, I watched it with a group of people and two of them have actually been in movies , one of them fell asleep and the other one decided to become our bartender LOL He thought it best we get a little drunker to finish the movie.
We had a screener copy of the film because they are in SAG? I think? Don't know that much about it.
I love a good thought provoking movie, I like it when they leave some of it up to the individual to ponder what it means. But this whole movie was that.
I loved Interstellar, one of my favorite films ever. This movie should not be compared to Interstellar. -

unrealistic comedy crap like The Martian
Unrealistic? Are you in your sense? Do you know who wrote 'The Martian'? It was closest possible realistic Sc-Fi movie with smart comic reliefs to have the audience relaxed from the continuous science concepts the movie dealt with.
Your statement about The Martian alone proves your natural inability to acknowledge intelligent fact like how Arrival was a fairy tale fantasy tale drivel with no backing on scientific possibilities.

The Martian was completely corny and unrealistic.
People like you make me laugh, because you come to places like this to rant about "pseudo-intellect" and "pretentiousness", yet usually you're obviously the ones who think that you possess some sort of genius that elevates you above the rest of us, all while ranting like a person who doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.
Why don't you take your arrogant, superior attitude and your deluded self-image somewhere else. -

The Martian won the Golden Globes for Best Comedy or Musical, so. -

The Martian won the Golden Globes for Best Comedy or Musical, so.
Another display of lousy IQ.
So in order to be nominated for Golden Globes, the movie has to be solely a comedy and comedy only, right? Despite knowing that The Martian was relying heavily on Science (assuming you saw the movie), your argument shows how desperate & foolish you are.
No wonder, Arrival must have pampered your feeble little mind.

I'll agree with you. This movie has a lot of really silly things in it that people are giving a pass on. And it tries to go for a kind of self-importance that it just doesn't earn. That ending in particular in really contrived.
Trying to create a channel based on interpreting, reviewing, and even giving you something to laugh about film. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

This film is not good as an intelligent sci-fi but i see it as durable as a feel good film for people who think its intelligent,had it went into the language part with the..ya know,linguist it focuses on i probably would've liked it. -

In find it funny that people who loved Interstellar say that Arrival is a bad movie and everyone who liked Arrival is pretentious.
Now I enjoyed a good chunk of Interstellar, but it's an incredibly uneven movie which did not really know what it wanted to be. Had they stuck with the original screenplay, the movie would have played as a straight 70s-80s Trek-like sci-fi story and it would be great. But Nolan decided to infuse fantasy-like ending there with the bookshelves and dimensions
Now Arrival also is more like science fantasy movie than what I call Trek-like science fiction. Meaning it relies on mind games and "premonitions" more than gadgets and more or less successful technobabble. But that does not immediately means that the movie sucks or it is not science fiction. Maybe it's not your type of science fiction, but at least it is consistent in what it wants to be and executes from 1st to last minute. I also did not find it Earth shattering, but AS A MOVIE, MAYBE NOT AS YOUR EXPERIENCE OF THE MOVIE it is much more solid than Interstellar which solidly executed its old school (in the best sense of the word) sci-fi plot when suddenly it decided to go all profound and deal in some atrocious dialogue and fantasy bookshelves I mean, you can't possibly defend the "love" monologue starting from 0:21 in the video below, in a beep sci-fi movie which until that had played as a straight good old-timey gadget sci-fi:
Martian was amazing also because it too knew what it wanted to be, nothing more, nothing less. If the main character would have cracked jokes for half a movie and then started to have monologues about God and universe and have visions of bookshelves before pissing on his "potato field" to have some moisture reclaimed, I would not enjoy it as much too. I mean- you need to understand what kind of a movie it will be. The first few minutes should set the tone. Arrival did that, while Interstellar showed us chasing a drone and dealing in gravitational anomaly - so I did not expect that the endgame would be main character wandering around bookshelves after getting sucked into black hole. It would be perfect ending for a movie like Arrival, not Interstellar. -

CockCatcher, we know you consider Prawnetheus a MASTERPIECE. No wonder you have a deficient brain to understand the vastly superiority of a movie such as this one.
It's just way too much for your lonely brain cell to take.
