Pretentious and incoherent snoozefest

Rating: 4/10 (24 March 2019)

I will go with the chorus. I am a fan of Arrival, so Villanueve in the credits piqued my attention. Boy was I disappointed.
The cinematography and the settings are beautiful, but the plot and the pacing... It seems like the writers were tasked to create a script around grim, futuristic settings and Harrison Ford, and set it in slo-mo. What else?.. Things got from bad to worse, it's not all Japanese, it's now Russian for some reason mixed in with other languages which for some reason everyone understands, "Her"-type AI, baddies without personality battle good guys without personality, and the rest is cliche-driven.
Highly recommended to people with sleep disorders. I slept like a baby after enduring these 3 hours!
How can it be 8 out of 10? Did the rating come from a click farm?
