“"Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it... and I welcome every moment of it."
Science fiction movies about extraterrestrials have existed for decades, to the point that there's ostensibly very little in the way of originality to be mined from the well-worn "alien invasion" subgenre. Enter 2016's Arrival, a rare type of sci-fi drama which dares to realistically explore what might occur if otherworldly beings visited Earth, without resorting to battles or large-scale destruction. More than just another action blockbuster involving aliens, Arrival is endowed with a maturity in both its storytelling and cinematic technique that's rarely glimpsed, bolstered by an Oscar-nominated screenplay by Eric Heisserer (based on Ted Chiang's short story "Story of Your L” read more

2017: The Movie List (62 movies items)"Onnistuu hyvin pääteemansa eli kommunikaation ja muukalaisiin kohdistuvan ennakkoluulon ja väärinymmärryksen käsittelyssä. CGI ei ole parhaasta päästä alienien kohdalla, muttei haittaa aivan niin paljon kuin turhan alleviivaavaksi pistetty loppu. Tunnelma kuitenkin on kohdallaan ja näytteleminen on todella hyvää kautta linjan. Muuten, äänisuunnittelu on niin hyvää että lentokoneen järjestelmän kautta nappikuulokkeillakin kuultuna olin hämmästynyt."
Movies Watched in 2017 (91 movies items)"March 12th Director: Denis Villeneuve Was actually a very interesting film, the only thing that makes it not as good as it should be is skipping over the language deciphering. I found that to be the most interesting part of the film and then they just pretty much cut it all out."

Movie Diary (spiel within, not spoiler free) pt.ii (24 movies items)"The first half is surprisingly good. They realistically make you feel the epicness of suddenly finding aliens on earth and the fear that comes with it. It deals well with the questions that would come up in that situation- what is their purpose, how to communicate, how to establish an accurate basis of communication, what about outerspace contagions, how did they get there, what is their technology, should humans "show force" and take the offensive (NO). The movie made me think humans would tota"

Oscars Part II - Movies of 2016
“"Arrival" o "La Llegada" es una película sobre alienigenas que no destaca realmente en algo a diferencia de muchas otras películas de su mismo estilo. Entonce, ¿Porque es tan aclamada? Simple, por su mensaje, el mensaje de "La comunicación es mas importante que el conflicto", ya saben, un mensaje que se enseña desde niños pero aquí se trata de implementar de una manera mas madura, junto a una narrativa densa en contraste a las películas de alienigenas y conflictos armados que uno suele acostumbrar. La película cuenta también con excelentes efectos especiales, los cuales si bien no son muy cuantiosos, realmente se sienten como parte de la atmósfera presentada. Otro punto a su favor es el WorldBuilding, es decir, como a medida que avanza la película vamos conociendo mas sobre la ” read more

20 Favorite Movies From 2016 (20 movies items)" "Language is the first weapon drawn in a conflict." I love smart Sci-Fi movies, and I was having high hopes for this movie. It didn't really met my high expectations, but I still love it very much. And on my second viewing, when I knew what it is, and what it isn't I even liked it more. I think it's a well made movie from one of my favorite directors, and Amy Adams was great too."
