Criminally underrated movie, imho. My brain exploded when watching this movie and seeing everything unfold. I couldn't wait to rewatch again. I get goosebumps every time during this part and the parts that followed.

Underrated? It was rated as one of the best films of the year….

@@Applest2oApples Whenever I mention or talk to people about the film, nobody ever seems to know what film I'm talking about. Yes, anecdotal, but it just leads me to believe that not a lot of people saw it. Hell, Black Adam totally bombed as a movie and had nearly twice the box office as Arrival. La La Land came out the same year and also had over double what Arrival had. So yes...underrated. If a movie gets nominated, but yet no one saw it, then it still classifies as underrated. If a movie falls in the forest...

I think it’s probably “rated” about right. Great reviews and $200m worldwide. I think it may seem to be below the radar because it’s an anomaly- a movie with aliens that’s pretty quiet and cerebral. Definitely not a spectacle, so there weren’t many “Whoah!” moments that push it out front and center.

This movie was AMAZING! The fact that it wasn't seen by more people and lauded with praise saddens me. A truly unique story told in an interesting way.

Dennis is a brilliant director

This is what true science fiction looks like.

One of the best SciFi movies ever. And I've seen a bunch.

I agree with you 100%. And I've been watching Sci-Fi films since the mid-70's.

Great movie, and one that gets better after repeated viewings. At first, you're confused as to what's happening here. On the second viewing, after you realize she's seeing future events, you're thinking it's weird that she wouldn't remember the things she did in the past. Later you realize that, although we the audience are seeing the events occur as separate "visions" in a linear fashion, Louise is seeing it all at once... she's existing in both timeframes at the same moment. Personally, I don't think being able to see your entire timeline at once would unite humans... I think it would drive humans insane. 🤔😵‍💫

I agree. And it's a silly concept... like thinking someone can exist in two separate physical locations. It's impossible in the same moment, therefore, time is linear!

@@joankonkle6972 author is Ted Chiang. The book mixes stories of her daughter (future) but the story is diferrent, and the questions they raise for OUR choices is different. There is still sadness that pushes us to asl ourselves if we would do it differently knowing the outcome. In the movie, Renner's scientist character plays a smaller role while in the book he is making key discoveries and there is a deeper connection with math - that partly explsins the alien's perceptiond and ability. I am no mayhematician, but those parts were fascinating. Chiang reconceptuañizes math in a similar way as to language. I taught this novella in one of my ELA classes. Both collections of short stories from Ted Chiang were great. I saw the movie (after reading the story) about a month before my father passed away (last movie we saw together). The movie's soundtrack and its message are forever linked to those memories for me too.

@@clarkthompson8094 Thank so much for letting me know. I am so sorry you lost your father. I am very glad though the two of you shared such a deep and meaningful movie experience together right before he died. The anniversary of my father's 2007 death is coming up later this week and he has been on my mind. Dementia had been working on him for many years before so he was in nursing home. It was good to see Arrival with its focus on loss, yes, but gains were greater and people rose to occasions. Well, I guess Jeremy Renner didn't exactly when he discovered future for his daughter and divorced Louise but maybe he just felt too betrayed by not having the knowing choice she did. Funny you mentioned soundtrack. I noticed its loveliness This time much more than I did before I just looked up ELA and it seems that's not college but before that. What grade did you teach this in? How did kids respond? I would have thought it would have gone over their heads. 3/13/23

It's funny, you completely missed the point. You're still constrained to the point of view that the entropic arrow of time is reality when in fact it is perception. The "past" and "future" events (from our frame of reference) were occurring simultaneously. She "saw" the future in the "same moment" that she "remembered" the past. Expand your mind past sci-fi tropes.

@@jerryporter4898 i'll expand a bit with this: that concept of time travel doesn't make you an omnipotent God. You know what happens to you and other people from your point of view. You learning the language and learning the time travel does not change anything in the future. You know your daughter will die, let's say, from drowning. Knowing that, you make the best effort to keep her out of the water. She never learns how to swim and drowns because of that. You can't influence the future, it already happened for you. You can only observe. Main character didn't ask the general to share his phone number. She didn't even know it BEFORE he showed her the number. It's a bit complicated and reminds me of Tenet too. There are obviously flaws with any idea of time travel, tho. You may ask "why didn't she know the number after the event if she knows what happens then".

I love this movie and as much as I love interstellar...this is very much more deep and meaningful in so many ways...and it really isn't even a story about aliens...thats the great thing...its a story about aliens that is really about US and who WE ARE...and what we can accomplish with a little faith in each other. And sometimes bad things may end up happening but in the end...life is a gift, as short as it is...and as painful as loss can be...even if the way we lose someone is tragic, making the choice to have that person in your life anyway is courageous and the entire movie they set up the duality between Renner's more scientific perspective to her more "spiritual" linguistic perspective which ends up also changing the way they handle loss and the decision to love even if it can't be for that long.

The Military (generally) can only offer a Military Solution to any Given Problem because that’s how Military Minds are taught and trained to Think. Which is why the Defence Department embed into the Military, Civilian Special Officers who specialise in Military Planning, amongst other things. These Civilian Special Officers, whilst able to Plan Military Solutions, can also Plan Adaptive Solutions which incorporate Civilian Aspects of Logic. I know this to be true because I spent 15 years attached to the ultra secretive Australian Department of Defence and embedded into the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army, specialising in Military Planning, Operational Logistics and other back room stuff I’m not permitted to specify, in the interest of Australian National Security.
