Arrival was the best film of last year. In every way. It was as human as Moonlight while tackling more complex issues, having a better score, having better direction, better cinematography, and a better overall story. It is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. It is structured so as to mirror the discovery and understanding of the alien language, which is a brilliant stroke by Villeneuve.

I am eagerly awaiting his take on Blade Runner.

I'm almost through every film from last year I wanted to see, and I'm gonna write a re-litgating the Oscars thread, but Arrival is really the centerpiece. It's the kind of film that should have cleaned u at the Oscars, as it sort of justifies the movie industry in a way the other films didn't. It was a huge event movie.

yeah, it was fantastic. Best sci fi movie in years, maybe since inception. Although Ex-Machina was pretty fantastic.

Most of his movies are really good. Very different though.

Sicario and Prisoners were fantastic. Enemy was not decipherable for me, although I watched it on a plane. Jake did a great job though.
