Has anyone seen "Arrival" yet?

Asked by stanleybmanly (24153points) November 18th, 2016 from iPhone

Since the wife & the grandsons have no interest, I’m thinking about dashing off to grab the matinee & senior discount. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

Not out yet. Trusted reviewers however attest greatness.

Just got home from seeing it. Yes, do. It’s lovely and interesting and unexpected. See it quick before spoilers!

Someone wants to take me this weekend. I don’t know what this is about, like aliens or something. Supposed to be good, we’ll see.

@Berserker, go, it’s worth it.

Very good. Go now.

I liked it. I found it thought provoking. But I wouldn’t wax as enthusiastic as some of the critics. And, pet peeve, why is everything so dark? Apparently the sun never shines in Montana?

I enjoyed it. The resolution was a surprise. Clever!

@josie What was the short story?

I did, today, and I loved it. Don’t read any of the spoiler alerts before you see it. My advice is, see it and think about it before you read the reviews.

Saw it but was kind of in a discombobulated mood. Thoughtbit good and clever but didn’t love it.

Just saw it. It was excellent.
