Arrival ????

[Vipersan]

Just finished watching this movie ...
Which I mistakingly thought was a scifi ...
Not really ..
It's a concept ..
A brain twisting concept..
Beautiful in it's construction ...highly emotive...filling me with more questions than answers ..
Yes I got it ...but left me feeling empty ..which I am sure was not it's intent .
I guess not a movie for a logical mind .
Though I can see why many might be drawn to it.
Anyone else seen this ?
If so I'd appreciate your impressions.
I have purposefully not descibed the plot line ..as this I feel would spoil it for anyone who intends to watch it.
A simple Yes/No would suffice ..
Did you enjoy it ?
Did you get it ?

Not yet, though the review below means I'll probably see it soon.


"introspective, philosophical and existentially inclined – yet it unfolds in an unwavering tenor of chest-tightening excitement. And there is a mid-film revelation – less a sudden twist than sleek unwinding of everything you think you know – that feels, when it hits you, like your seat is tipping back."

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I was looking forward to it for over a year and watched it about 2 weeks ago

It wasn't what I was expecting at all but all the same I really enjoyed it

It was more in the interstellar mold but not, that comment makes no sense until you watch it I suppose

I have seen it and agree the plot twist is clever. Sad to say I found it rather slow, though the acting is very good. In the end it left me a bit deflated and it's not one I'd bother buying for my collection...

'deflated' ..thats the word I was after ..
I chose'empty' ...but I suspect we are describing the same thing..

Both those statements could hold water
