Some retards in this board actually think Arrival is
a better film than Contact
Some retards in this board actually think scifi films are worth discussing

I like contact, super comfycore, but I was always bummed out that they gloss over the whole "machindo" aspect from the book, really showed that the actual contact part was just icing on the cake, and the process of a world uniting to build the machine itself was the real gift.
this desu
plebs all around
AYO THIS IS ME
WATCHU GONNA DO NOW WHITEBOI
I stopped watching Arrival halfway through.
It's an interesting concept but I fell asleep.
>>79071161
how do people manage to fall asleep while watching movies
even fucking Sandler movies keep me up when I'm in the bus or the cinema
Yeah. I was pretty mad when people claimed that Arrival was very similar to Contact when all the stuff that made Contact great (deciphering the message) was basically just a montage in the middle of the movie.
I enjoyed Arrival but Contact is still much better in my opinion.

i've fallen asleep watching the phantom menace and the seventh seal
not gonna pretend i've liked them
>>79071236
I didn't actually literally fall asleep. Sigh. Why am I explaining this.
>>79071070
but what if you compare it to intresteler?
I haven't seen Arrival but Contact is 100% shit, so it almost certainly is better.
>surprise! we built another one without anybody noticing!
>praise religion even when it makes no sense for the character purely because most of the American audience is religious
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is garbage too.
>>79071390
You forgot the worst part of all
>DUDE I'M AN ALIEN BUT I'LL TAKE THE FORM OF A HUMAN TO NOT SCARE YOU LMAO
>>79071375
Well that movie was a gigantic pile of shit useful only to identify plebs from a lineup... so it doesn't change a fucking thing.
>>79071282
So you just lied?
>>79071070
Why not both?
Does everything have to be a petty rivalry with you faggots? This against that, me vs you. Fucking kill yourself, kid.
>>79071792
Because Arrival really is full of itself. It's not very good
>>79071282
what a shitty metaphor m8
and I dared to think you could have decent aesthetics for once

Pure kino.
I love this movie
>lmao we secretly built another one
>>79071733
I know you're just a meming contrarian but you know a movie doesn't need to be at least 20 years old to be good? Interstellar is one of the best sci-fi movies ever even with the 5D bookshelf
>>79071070
2001, solaris (2002) and the fountain are the holy trinity of sci fi fantasy kino
Honorable mention to contact
>>79071236
This. All of these people must be trolling
I'm old enough to remember when Arrival first came out and we had intelligent, laudatory threads for the first couple weeks. Then the movie got popular and the torrent came out so contrarianism reigns.

>Interstellar is one of the best sci-fi movies ever
"No."
>>79072967
It's normal for shills to show up early
