exactly so you got lucky with free tickets to this one

 

 

but yeah it's about aliens showing up and having to deal with that.  There's more to it, but don't know how much you want to know before going in to see it  

 

I have vague memories of liking a trailer, but it's Adams, Renner, and Whitaker. Plus, I'd probably go see it on my own accord anyway, so win win.

It's the long-awaited feature-length Hollywood remake of this.

yep that's the one.  So you should be good.  It's probably one of the only movies I see this month so I'm on board as well

I wonder if this will end up as the main competitor to La La Land for awards season? It just seems like such a weak field overall and it looks like this may be one of the decade's best reviewed films at this rate. This decade has made bigger leaps and strides for getting sci-fi recognized among the top industry awards and accolades than the last several decades that came before combined.

Until I hear otherwise I'm assuming Silence is going to be a top dog

This will be mistakenly taken as clever "sci-fi" by most while being as basic and simple minded as Deus Ex_Machina last year.

have you seen it yet or have you decided there's too much of a positive consensus for someone as cool as you to like it?

I keep forgetting about Silence for some reason, but I do expect it to be a big player.That seems like a given for Scorsese these days.

Obvious flame baiting by Futurist. Do not engage

I think Manchester By The Sea is being underestimated for a movie with so much praise directed at its writing and performances. Wouldn't be surprised to see it win SAG ensemble, and if there had been no La La Land this awards season, it'd probably be at least a temporary Best Picture frontrunner right now with Fences and Silence not seen yet.

Arrival strikes me as this year's "8-10 nominations, no wins" movie. I guess there's an outside chance of it taking Score or Sound, but I wouldn't bet on it.

^ Nice avatar/comment synergy there.

[Fancyarcher]

Arrival is a terrific an d a sci-fi film that warrants multiple viewings. I'm not really sure that the academy is going to like the film, enough to nominate it though, although it's definitely worthy of a nom.

Interstellar was so overrated.
