Anyone see Arrival yet? How was it?

As good as the 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating would suggest?

I really liked it, it's more of a thinking man's alien-type movie.
A little slow moving, but well worth it.

It gets a bit nerdy at times (in a good way from my POV, maybe not so much other people), but it is a fantastic movie that everyone should see. Probably my favorite movie I've seen in theaters since The Revenant

A really well executed original movie.

I enjoyed it greatly, entertaining and profound would be the two words I would use to describe it. Amy Adams will get an Oscar nod for her role.

More of an artsy take on interstellar basically.
Imagine interstellar shot as an indie. More visuals and a little more meat on the bone
I agree that it drug in a few places, but they kept the pace pretty well.
As a film, I'd give it a 9/10. Don't go in expecting Independence Day or you'll be disappointed.

Really beautiful movie but I thought it was too clever by half in certain spots. Maybe I need to see it again.

Fantastic!
Was able to sneak away at lunch for an early showing.
It was actually really quite beautiful. I knew it was going to be good based on villeneuve's previous work, but I was surprised by the emotional tone, in the best possible way. amy adams was just lovely, and the main theme from johannsson was equally as gorgeous. highly recommend it.
By far the best movie I've seen so far in 2016. Hoping to see moonlight and Manchester by the sea soon though.

This movie does what Interstellar wanted to do, but came up short...and I loved Interstellar so that's not a knock to it.
This film is just absolutely beautiful. I can't think of a better word. It's emotional, intense, and it gave me that sense of awe and wonder that I love about great SF. My wife and I had a long discussion about it after we go out. So much you talk about and interpret!

I guess I'm the only one here who hated it. The movie could have easily been 30 minutes shorter without all the fluff they added. It just seemed so pretentious for pretentious' sake and labored on and on, in my opinion.

Saw it last night. I don't get all the love. It's slow and boring with a cool ending. I guess the last 5 minutes of the movie make people leave feeling like it was a good movie. I didn't forget how slow the rest of it was.

Second best movie of the year. I'm still very partial to Hell or High Water.

Pretty decent. Honestly, and I might get some hate for this, but it seemed a lot like Signs. It was a "reverse" Signs. Really cool, but I didn't see anything unique or new, except one small aspect of it that was clever, but it wasn't really expounded upon much.

Absolutely wonderful movie.

The gf and I saw it. My Gf didn't want to see an Alien movie I explained to her it wasn't a shootem up alien movie and she agreed to go see it. She and I loved the movie and the story was really good. I like that you really couldn't figure out where the story started or ended time wise. Definitely deserved the great reviews

It's one of if not the best movie of the year. It's simply fantastic.

I enjoyed it. I have my problems with the ending, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable movie.
