Garbage movie IMO. Real no action, no horror aspect at all. Small mystery that doesn't really invest you into the movie, stupid and predictable plot twist. how did this movie get such high praise again? Someone convince me why this movie was good.

It's a drama movie. Too bad the trailer portrayed it wrong.

i hope you're not serious

aside from a bit of shoehorning with the romance at the end the film exceeded my expectations. it was not sold as an action film.

Did you not watch the trailer? Military, tanks, air planes, explosions... it looks like war was about to break loose.

did you actually watch the movie?

global war almost did break out.


but the trailer was presenting the tension of someone trying to keep the whole world calm while they developed the answers, not space marine #1420 kicking ass

Yes I did and the trailer heavily implied mystery, action and horror. When a trailer is a completely lead on with fear and mystery plus ominous music it implies the things I posted. I'm happy you knew exactly what the movie was upon seeing it for 5 seconds.

I saw the movie when it came out and just rewatched this trailer. If you think it was being billed as an action movie, you're just being incredibly dense about it. The music and writing in the trailer make it super obvious that it's an extremely suspenseful movie with huge consequences to their actions. It shows potential for military action, but never shows the main characters in that position. Not to mention that military action in this setting should be expected.

Compare it to this trailer. It immediately opens with action and violence, and it almost never stops. It obviously paints white old fat dude as a villain (I forget his name), while Arrival doesn't show the aliens as villains, but as a mystery to figure out.

Don't be dumb.

You seem to have a hard time judging movies by their trailer. First you call the Mummy reboot a horror movie and now this. Don't judge a book by its cover or in this case, a movie by its trailer.

Also, you're a Jive Turkey.

Don't be butthurt. It was billed for a LOT of things if you start from that trailer alone. Why are you focus on the part where I said action? I said mystery and horror as well. Now tell me you knew the movie was a straight up drama romance movie the minute you were into it. Don't be mad this movie is exactly what I described it, a bait and switch. I know you want to think this movie is some next level complex shit but it ain't. Sit back down.

I was obviously joking with the Mummy but this movie's trailer really did give you the mystery and horror feel to it.

It's not a drama romance movie. It has about one element of a romance movie.

Go make a poll on the movies board on whether they thought what the movie was billed as and what they got were the same. Or whether it was a bait and switch. You'll get the same overwhelming answer - no.

One last thing. You waited less than 4 minutes after your reply to my post to mention me. What the fuck are your expectations of people visiting this site? Lmao.

I see you need people to agree with you to feel validated. Such a fallacy.

It's not a fallacy when it's a fucking opinion.

I was hoping to get something in between Interstellar and ID4 but it got real stupid instead. The "I can see the future if I keep learning their language" was fucking stupid.

I mean, it's a they/hypothesis (whatever) amongst some linguists that your language influences how you experience reality.

and yea, no longer experiencing time linearly likely wouldn't happen due to leaning a new language, it was an interesting new are for sci-fi to visit.

I agree it wasn't that good, but I saw it months late after people had been hyping it non-stop. Kinda just a meandering slow story that didn't payoff very well.

I'll watch anything with Amy Adams tho, so I enjoyed it enough for that.

You're implying that science fiction has this narrow road that can only go one way. Sci-fi goes hand and hand with any genre especially action and horror.

I meant with the thing about language and time. It's science fiction, that's the point.

This is like seeing Empire Strikes Back and then when Luke lifts the ship out of the swamp being like "that was dumb."
If you are incapable of suspension of disbelief then science fiction probably isn't a good genre for you.


And wtf is up with people ITT tagging people every 2 minutes for a response.
