I saw that the other of the short story Arrival is based on bas partly inspired by slaughterhouse five. I noticed the parallels pretty quickly. Was anyone else getting slaughterhouse five vibes?

Yes, but that book is a masterpiece, while Chiang's story and this movie are cloddish failures.

I've read it a couple of times over the years but I didn't pick up on any similarity.
So it goes.

I read and loved Slaughterhouse Five, but didn't really get that vibe with this film.
