At a loss for words!

Rating: 2/10 (28 January 2017)

Can't be any spoilers here, I couldn't watch it long enough to tell anyone what happens. I am at a loss here. I read the reviews and it is remarkable to see that people either hated this film and referred to it as a snooze-fest, or praised all the nuances from Amy Adams' acting to the musical score, to the message for humanity. Reminds me of the hype (I was a teenager at the time) for 2001 A Space Odyssey. I saw that and would have left after 20 minutes, but the friend I was with kept saying, no, let's wait, something has to happen soon. What a waste of time! I have never been so bored sitting through a movie. These days I don't have to - I can watch a lot on the internet and turn it off, or try again if I want to. This movie compares to 2001 - at least the first 45 minutes. I couldn't get past that, although I did try. Listening to Amy Adams hyperventilate in a dark tunnel for 10 minutes (at least it seemed that long) was like watching the spaceship from all angles just floating in space for what seemed like an eternity in 2001. I am not a fan of action movies, but total lack of anything is the opposite extreme, and just as bad. People loved to say I just didn't understand it. But who cares? It's like watching a mediocre golf match. It may be a pleasure to play and enjoy the weather, but not to watch unless you are in love with one of the players. Same here. Not a pleasure. A waste of film, time, actors, and anything else used to make the film. But then, that seems to be in these days. Don't get me started on LaLaLand . . . 'How do these movies get nominated for best picture?
