A Mind-Blowing Sci-Fi Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2016)

I haven't enjoyed a film this much since I saw Inception about 6 years ago. I had almost the same feeling walking out of this as I did with that film. My mind was blown. I have never seen a film like this in my life. It's a sci-fi masterpiece that I will be seeing again and again to look for things that I may have missed. Seriously, if you like thinking- person's sci fi, then this is the perfect film for you.
I went into this not knowing what to expect. I had seen that it got amazing reviews from critics, and was very interested to see it. I expected a better-than-usual sci-fi film with aliens and explosions and all that kind of stuff. I couldn't have been more wrong. This film hardly had any action, but I was still on the edge of my seat the entire time wondering what was going to happen. That's how you create a quality film. I haven't seen any other movies from Denis Villeneuve before (such as Prisoners or Sicario) but I will most likely be watching those films in the near future if they're as good as this was.
Everything about this film was sensational. The plot, the acting (if Amy Adams does not receive at least a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars, I will be severely disappointed), the haunting score, cinematography, the twists, the aliens, it was just overall excellent. The messages that the film has as well are so timely, and are exactly what we need at this time. I really hope that this film does well at the Oscars because it deserves it!
This is a film that I could watch over and over again and not get sick of it. Fantastic 10/10
