Totally agree, one of the worst films I watched in 2016 (not just my opinion - my 2 other friends I watched it with were also very disappointed. God knows how it's got so many Golden Globe nominations. Drivel

Arrival is everything Interstellar tried to be : mind blowing, smart and one of the best Sci Fi in our recent history.
so i guess it depends on who you ask
Movies are like that! masterpieces for you can be beep for me and none would own the master truth.

You're actually surprised that a total stranger on the net liked a film that you didn't?
Just proves how up your own ass you are.
Why do you even watch mainstream films at all when you clearly think you are above them?
I looked at your ratings and they are the ratings of an insane person.
You've given 1/10 to some fantastic films and yet given Texas Chainsaw 2 and Hellraiser 3 a 10/10? You're taste is appalling.
Again, stop talking to me, you existence is depressing. -

Why do you even watch mainstream films at all when you clearly think you are above them?
Did I say all mainstream films were bad? Lot's of great ones have come out: The Drop, Hell Or High Water, Wolf Of Wall Street, Revenant, Moonlight etc
You've given 1/10 to some fantastic films
And yet you're too much of a coward to name which ones, because you know they are bad. And you will look like an idiot online for supporting them.
Texas Chainsaw 2 and Hellraiser 3 a 10/10?
TCM2 has a huge cult following, and while somewhat comedic, it was the last of the great TCM series, have you ever seen it?
Hellraiser3 is also the same thing, it got great reviews, of course not as good as the first two, but it was the last great in the series.
Look at your fav films, in your "best horror list" you have Bride Of Chucky?
In yout fav films you have: Toy Story, South Park, and Warrior??
It's funny, you actually have half a brain we like many of the same, but you have a long way to go, you've seen Goodfellas, but never Mean Streets, or Who's That Knocking, you've seen True Romance but never Badlands
I guess I'm still feuding with you after tried to burn me on bashing Hacksaw Ridge, a film which you adore. -

Hell or High Water was boring and completely useless.
Seriously, one of the most unimaginative films I've seen in years that has been overrated by pretentious lunatics like you.
Moonlight was also useless. One upon a time there was a gay, black man. The End. Wow, riveting stuff.
The Revenant was fine but overrated.
The Drop was okay but completely forgettable.
I'm too much of a coward to name the films? LOL Wow you really do live in your own little world, don't you.
Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan and The Departed are 3 of em (can't be bothered to look again)
2 fantastic films that are again, highly rated FOR A REASON.
You would have to be a total, ****ing retard to rate them 1 out of 10.
I have a list of over 80 fave films and you pick 2 of them to insult?
Toy Story is a great film and the majority of people will agree with it.
Why would you assume I've never seen Mean Streets or Badlands??
Bizarre assumption! Which shows how delusional you are!
You ASSUME I've not seen these films because if I had, they would be in my list of favourite films??
I have seen them both. Badlands was good but Mean Streets was pretty poor n forgettable.
It's funny, you actually have half a brain we like many of the same, but you have a long way to go,
Oooh, I get it! So someone is only smart if they have the exact same taste in movies as you? LOL.
Get over yourself, you sad, little man. You are so up your own ass, it is unbelievable. -

Toy Story is a great film and the majority of people will agree with it.
And the majority of people will agree with me that Hell Or High Water wasn't boring, and Mean Streets and The Drop weren't poor or forgettable.
I agree the ending of Moonlight was useless, I never said it was perfect.
Band Of Bros was a watered down hokey TV series trying to pretend to be realistic Infantry grunt life. Schwimmer was pathetic.
SPR was good for 15mins then turned into a comedy and sob fest, the whiney medic, useless terp, Hanks as the aloof school teacher, skinhead Wehrmacht soldiers, laughable. The film waves huge American flags in your face, pathetic.
The Departed was just a mess, and a pain to follow. One of Scorsese's worst.
The thing is you seem like an intelligent guy given you do like lot's of great films, whether I like them or not. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings on the HSR post.
But I'm really worried for you if you think Hacksaw Ridge is a "perfect film" Is everything alright in your family or home life? -
BeOneOfUs — 9 years ago(January 23, 2017 04:53 AM)
LOL I actually can't be bothered to argue with you.
At the end of the day, we are 2 different people with different opinions.
You can leave insulting comments like:
But I'm really worried for you if you think Hacksaw Ridge is a "perfect film" Is everything alright in your family or home life?
But you know deep down that you are just being an ass, right?
For me, it WAS a perfect film.
You have to open up your mind to the fact that these issues you had with the film, are not going to be an issue for everyone!
The story was 10/10
The directing and acting 10/10
The actions scenes 10/10 (You may have found them corny but that is just your personal perspective!
SoYes, for me it was a perfect film.
If you weren't a sh!tty human being, you would respect that opinion rather than trying to patronize me.
And yes, most people would agree that Hell or High Water wasn't boring.Just like most people would agree that Hacksaw Ridge was a great film.
But the difference is, I don't go around the board for HOHW insulting people who enjoyed the film.
And even though I disliked that film, I still gave it a fair 5/10 rating because it was obviously a very well made film.
Giving something like HSR or SPR a 1/10 is just you being obnoxious.
Even if you hated the films, if you were smart you would recognize the fact that they are not bad films whether you cared for them or not.
Now don't reply again unless you are going to be reasonable. -

Stop telling me to calm down just because you can't think of a clever response.
You sound like you suffer from Dunning Kruger effect, MATE.
You think you are intelligent because of the films you like lol.
Nah, I think you are a pseudo intellectual and really you are just a moron.
Sadly, morons don't know they are morons.
Your existence is just a total shame, man LOL. -

Hailing a movie like this as Sci-Fi master piece is an act of total ignorance oozing out of pathetically poor IQ.
What an intelligent way to start a post.
The film's premise is set on a fairy tale fantasy tale like that of Alice in Wonderland. Deciphering an alien language gives your brain cells access to some unholy dimension to retrieve information from future and flash images in your mind?!
It is TRUE science fiction concept, new and imaginative In other words it is great science fiction.
And just when the aliens started flashing their language, the sensible set of audience thought that the best part is about to begin which would show how exactly would humans interpret & decipher alien language.
I thought the film showed that pretty well, and included the concept of time in it that is what made it science fiction.
If the film would have been only about learning the language then it would have been more like fantasy fiction instead of science fiction, an 'Independence Day' of sorts.
If you want a film purely focused on learning the language I recommend
The Miracle Worker (1962)
, which is hard to top in that category, and is based on real case as well. The acting is simply brilliant.
Arrival, however, is not only about the sci-fi concept and story. It is also about the cinematography, pacing, and Adams' performance which were all pretty flawless. This is a very well directed film by Villeneuve no matter what you wanted the script to be. -

Oh really? So does that make 'Contact' a fantasy film? Contact was intriguing because of the part of interpreting an alien message. They start analysing the message and then one clue leads to another and then another and all within the paradigm of scientific possibilities.
Arrival did nothing. It straight away fed you with some fair tale fantasy logic of foreseeing future and ending with a nonsensical decision made by a character.

You missed the point, regardless of your superior IQ
The point is that if a film is only about linguistic problems then it lacks the true science fiction element - it would be a film about linguistics in fantasy environment.
Both Contact and Arrival have more than that though. Arrival has 'time travel' and Contact has travel through wormholes. Those are science fiction concepts while linguistics is not.
