I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised
I need to give this a rewatch

Read the short story before re-watching. Definitely gives you a better perspective.
The thing I remember about this movie was that India got mad one of the fictional aliens from this movie decided to land in Pakistan instead of India.
The other thing I remember was that they for some reason decided to show the location on the map as "Punjab, Pakistan" which is even more generic because it's a province not a city.

I could see India being upset over that because it's disputed territory. Edit: This is incorrect, Kashmir is the disputed territory.

So good. I think I listed it as my favorite movie for a while.
I know that I enjoyed this movie but I don't remember it at all. Yay, I get to watch it again like it's new.
Me rewatching a movie:
"Oh yeah, I remember this part..."

Watched it last week for the first time. Really enjoyed it
I watched it because Lingthusiasm has a podcast episode about it and loved it too!
The rule is simple: if uts by Denis Villeneuve, YOU WATCH IT
I don't remember much about the movie, but isn't it one of the movies where time gets wacky?
Genuinely one of the best movies of all time IMO
Sapir-Whorf always fascinated me when I first read about it in philosophy class
I read this stuff casually and I was generally familiar with the theories in both Arrival and Interstellar, but I couldn't make heads or tails of either when I watched the movies. I completely missed what they were pointing at in Interstellar and thought they butchered the idea that Amy Adams was caught in her own frame of how she understood her experience of time.
I am sure that's my problem, but I truly wonder how anyone was supposed to appreciate the movies without internalizing the critical theories
Interstellar was terrible.
Very happy to see my notion shared on this platform.
"But the science"
Miss me with that bullshit, you don't get to tote how "scientifically accurate" something is in the first half (it wasn't) and then get time travel/self recurrence in the second half.
It was just a bad movie with high production value, if I want that I'll watch moonfall.
Don't remember much of this movie , but what I did see wasz very beautiful
Iβve only watched it once, and I really didnβt like it. I feel like I need to give it another shot though.
