It’s a American film released in 2016 called “Arrival.” It’s probably the most unique and greatest story ever to ever grace American cinema. I was curious if anybody else has watched it. The film is based on communication, time, and philosophical theories that I study, so that may be why I enjoy it so much This is also one of my favourite movies ever. Remarkable on every level.

Thanks for the recommendation. Edit: Wasn't your favorite movie "Gladiator" just a couple of months ago ... ?

There are very few films that push the boundaries of the human mind more than that one, and the other films that have are now well loved cult “classics” (Inception, Interstellar). If Interestellar and Inception is your standard for greatness, then i guess i am in for a big disappointment when i decide to watch "Arrival" ...

I already told you that back then, you could have listened to me and saved your money ... Now please listen to me this time at least: Neither Inception nor Interstellar is that great either ...

I realized how terrible the pacing of Gladiator is. It’s still a good movie, it just lacks in some areas. Arrival on the other hand... “Sport has the power to change the world.
