I somehow managed to stay unspoiled and finally watched Arrival over the weekend. I'm so glad I was unspoiled as knowing anything would have likely ruined the movie. I liked it but it definitely had it's slow moments i.e. most of the movie. ;) I liked the theme that emerged at the end - it's very introspective - and it's made me extremely curious to read the short story that it was based on.

Anyone else seen it? What did you think?

I really want to see this! I'm so behind on this year's movies. :'(

Meanwhile, this won the internet for, like, a decade in my opinion:

I had to look that up. How did I manage to miss that meme? My facebook feed is letting me down! :roll:

I saw it! My husband and I both really enjoyed it--such an interesting concept and so very well done. I think I need to see it again though--I never remember movies well after one viewing, plus I fell asleep a few times. :blush:

Grace, I'm not sure you falling asleep through it is such a good selling point. :rofl:

I don't watch a lot of Sci Fi, but it actually had really good ratings, so I might watch it if it comes onto Netflix sometime. :)
