I really enjoyed the first half, the interactions and the translating process, and even the designs of the aliens themselves.
Sucks that the second half was so clumsy and shitty.
>we're gonna blow them up because reasons

It was Hancock all over again.
Great first half, then someone dropped the fucking script into a blender and had to figure out how to end it.

US was being aggressive too. Did you not remember the scene of US soldiers literally bombing up the alien ship and shooting at it?

I don't even think China attacked first. US did.

rogue soldiers going against the feds.

usually it's the other way around: fed makes soldiers do fucked up aggressive shit
>>
>>79507819
What do you mean? They were given orders to bomb and shoot the alien ship.

If anything, USA was being more aggressive than China in the movie. China was just being uncooperative.

You weren't paying attention when you watched this movie, dude
>>
>>79507969
As far as I know, USA was responsible for the death of one of the octopus aliens. China didn't kill a single one.
>>
>>79508003
they didn't kill any of them. shit c4 couldn't do anything to the shell
>>
>>79508100
>You weren't paying attention when you watched this movie, dude
Clearly you weren't either. One of the aliens said that the other alien was "processing death" because of the explosion.
>>
This movie makes Sphere look like Citizen Kane.
>>
>>79508003
Right, but the soldiers were not acting on orders, they got the idea from a YouTube video from a fictionalized Alex Jones-type person. It was clear that they were acting in secret, we even see them getting ready to have an armed standoff with OTHER US SOLDIERS so that nobody would stop the bomb from going off

I really don't see how you missed all that
>>
>>79507863
try to pay attention. they were rogue soldiers and were killed in a gunfight with the other soldiers.
>>
>>79508140

anyways, the only time death was mentioned was in the context of abortion

Maybe against the sandniggers
>>
>>79508140
No, I caught that. I'm just pointing out that the guys who planted the bomb were not ordered to do so, they planned it secretly
>>
>>79508233
yeah that was so blatant

Alright but even so, USA took more aggressive action towards the aliens than China. Of course it wasn't official but they still bombed the shit out of it and killed one of the aliens.

China was pretty much going to war with the Aliens but USA was soon to follow.
>>
>>79508291
That's what I said. China is the aggressor in Asia

I think you're deeply confused, mate - this film was fictional, these events never happened. At this point it seems like you're trying to make a serious point about America's aggressive foreign policy, and this is a ridiculous place for that discussion

Are you trying to act smart? I'm going with what the movie gave us.

It's literally stated in the movie that the US was going to war with these aliens.

Concept art is pretty cool. I don't know why they went with big squid hand thingys.

>>79508732
that looks worse.
>>
>>79508732
looks way better than what we got
>>
>>79508732
I like the squid-hands much better than the pic you posted

More concept art

I'm not sure how I feel about any of these though. I figured intelligent aliens would be bipedal

To each their own, Squid was very bland though.
>>
>>79508732
that looks too humanoid, probably why they scrapped it
>>
>>79508859
How the fuck does that look humanoid? You mean earthling? I personally think the actual Arrival aliens look more "earth-like" than the one you replied to.
>>
>>79508888
looks like a human torso with useless flappy tentacles attached.

Oh god I'd just want to kill it. Squid was bland but it's better than hideous.

>>79508815
>Squid was very bland
It was a very simple/minimal design, but so was everything else in this film. It all fit together. Those two guys you posted would've looked very out-of-place hanging around in that ship

One thing I liked about the squids was that, until the end when you see one of them in a full shot, it kind of seems like they might just be appendages of a larger organism. They do a good job keeping the aliens partially hidden and mysterious for most of the film, which would've been diminished a bit if they had "faces"

wat?
She was remembering, first use of weapon.
go death process fggit.

Are you retarded? Humanoid does not mean "looks exactly like a human".
>>
>>79509276
Obviously. It means something resembling a human to which I highly disagree because I've actually had physical contact with another human.

This one would be good for the unknown alien factor, but pretty bad as a realistic organism.

Assymetry is unnatural.

Are you talking in terms of earth standards?

>>79509438
Symmetry is everywhere in nature. Look at snowflakes and crystal formations.
