    Go watch Doctor Strange and have your tiny mind blown by ripped off vfx from Inception, Interstellar, Gravity, and the Matrix. Enjoy the flat jokes and weak story.

      It said that he was in a tough process but did not actually say it was from the explosion.

        I think he said that Abbott was in a death process. It made me really sad when he said it. 😞

          She had just been given "the weapon" seconds before.

            Time isn't linear or else the Chinese-code isn't possible. The entire explosion is sloppy, feels like a scene (or three) is missing, and isn't mentioned ever again. Odd.

              You're right that time isn't linear, but it is established in the film that Louise only sees events which occur
              after
              she's given the gift.

                Recites the future Chinese phrase perfectly but cannot see the simple, C4 explosion that kills Abbott. Surprisingly poor.
                Ah don't we all love it when the ADD/mentally challenged crowd watch an intelligent movie and starts criticizing it? In case you didn't know, those two events took place at entirely different points in the movie, one where she had just started to grasp the language (which is why at first she heard only sounds, or had vivid dreams), and the latter when she had been working on the language for months!

                  How could she have seen the explosive device when her epiphany hadn't even been reached yet?

                    She saw her child. Or rather WE saw her child. So show us one Boom-flash, and my complaint goes away.

                      I agree. I thought the way that was handled was beautiful. Haven't seen a film so emotionally powerful in that sense without being melodramatic or silly in a long time.
