Right after watching a movie, I like to go on IMDb and check out the general feel towards the film.
So a lot of people love this one, while others deem it boring, pretentious and mostly 'a waste of time'.
Ironically, time is actually the main character in the movie for all intents and purposes.
I wonder how many people truly watched this film with attention. Sure, you might find it boring if you are expecting an Independence day type of action flick, but that's not what it's about.
In many reviews I see people talking about Louise being tormented by "memories" of her daughter. Do they realize that these events are not "memories" as Such?
Imagine you were given a chance to foresee the good and the bad in your future. Feeling the torment and heartbreak of what it means to lose the purest of love. For me, the concept struck a nerve.
Honestly I'M stating the obvious in this review but I can simply not imagine the emotion is lost on some individuals on this site who call this a bad movie.
Note that I didn't even mention the aliens!
If you want to see it, I suggest you really watch it. And feel it. You'll understand what I mean.
