Look, I don't know how you interpret movies but to me, movies are just make believe. You gave arrival 4/10 in your rating and nobody called you names or tried to shove their opinion down your throat. Someone else called Deadpool wack and you think your opinion counts while his doesn't?

Read what the guy first said, and read correctly.

mehn.... I came across The Fifth Commandment 2008..... ImDb ratings was 4.7/10....mehn.... it was damn worth watching.... could not believe that....rating it 7.5/10... compared to Nonnsense deadpool that was given 8/10 by IMDb..... deadpool is the wackest movie of 2016....they can shove it down their throat

No, shove it down your own intestine. Deadpool is one hell of a great movie.

First you have to keep an open mind and try watching the movie again but this time, make sure you have the blu-ray version that also has subtitle. I sure what you saw was DVDSCR.

1. They've been studying the heptapods' symbols for long even though the time range wasn't specified.

2. They couldn't communicate with the heptapods during their first encounter which made Louise resort to writing. After that she started teaching them the basic English language like walk, talk, run etc as well as demonstrations. With the purpose of asking what their mission on earth was.

Now there was no where in the movie I saw the aliens communicating with Chinese or Chinese people but we know that every country where the aliens' pod landed, their scientists were communicating with them and at the same time sharing what they've learnt about them with each other.

3. The aliens meaning of "weapon" was misinterpreted. They never meant actual weapon like nuclear weapon and it likes, the weapon they meant was a gift.
The gift was to tell the future. Now if you re-watch the movie, each time she figured out part of the symbol, she sees her future.

Now why would you compare arrival with warcraft?

I didn't compare, i only talked about their approach. We all know alien movies are full of shooting and war against aliens without even any communication with them.

Likewise, if you have watched 'Lord of the Rings' collection and 'The Hobbit', you will notice that no matter what, the orcs are the usual villains, but 'Warcraft' showed us, the orcs are a race too, and they also go throuhh what humans go through.

Arrival 8/10

This is one simple and self explanatory movie. I see no reason why some persons here would give it a 4.

Infact, it should be 1/10.

1) How did Dr Banks suddenly knew how to decipher the alien language? Guess it was done behind the scene, right?

2) Dr. Banks was using English to communicate with the aliens before they could respond. How come the aliens quickly understand Chinese language too? And other languages in different countries that the alien ships landed.

3) What was actually the weapon the aliens actually want to offer humans? Cos i think they left without leaving anything.

The best thing about Arrival is the portrayal of the aliens in a friendly manner, letting us know that its not all about aliens invading and the earth fighting to defend the human race.

Its just like how 'Warcraft' portrayed 'orcs', in a friendly manner, showing us that 'orcs' have feeling and go through a lot too. Not like how Lord of the rings and The Hobbit portrayed orcs as barbaric, war mongers and blood thirsty villains.

Warcraft was good, Arrival? Lackluster.

Vorpal:

Interesting discussion.

ARRIVAL 1/10... Imdb commenter .....
This movie left everybody in the cinema clueless and bored to death. So many things in the movie make ZERO sense, just a few examples: - The colonel expects the linguist to decipher some alien language that sounds like gwowodkgjdkgrowlhwkas on the spot from a dicta phone. - Most important event in humankind and all decisions are taken by some random soldiers in the camp. President of the US or any politicians are never shown and take no role whatsoever in the story. - Some "rogue" soldier (god knows how) gets his hands on explosives, avoids all controls, and expects to destroy with a few C4 charges a huge spaceship which defies the laws of physics. - The way they "decipher" the alien random scrabbling are just completely arbitrary and laughable (aka there is no explanation on how anything is deciphered) but magically after a few months they have a full vocabulary with which they can have a conversation. In real history many real human languages based on actual letters (not random stains in the air) were a completely unintelligible until the Rosetta Stone was found with a key to understand them. - The alien presence on earth is just nonsensical. They arrive, say that they have bought some "gift" to humanity because in 3000 years they will need help in return (for what?) and then they disappear in thin air without having accomplished anything. - The attack by the Chinese general (again, no government exists, it seems that soldier can just do what the heck the want) is stopped by some phone call whose contents nobody bothers to explain. - most of the movie is just going back and forth from the ship, zzzzzzzzzz - The physicist is practically useless. He just sits around without giving any scientific contribution. His only role is to represent the love interest of the linguist. He could have been a janitor for all I know. People saying that this is the best movie ever have probably never seen a movie in their life or have suffered a concussion. Proof of this is that, while we're still talking about 2001 a space odyssey after 40 years, in 3 months nobody will remember this onsensical, boring, badly written piece of garbage.

Egbon. Wetin come concern Terminator with Arrival na? Both of them are Sci-fi but the premise of terminator is more defined and constructed well with no any Alien déjà vu unlike Arrival.

Am talking about how Kyle Reese had to visit his future self (a kid), so that genisys will not go online in Terminator Genisys. Also in Arrival, it involves a woman having flashbacks and also seeing the future, along with a child still unborn, and the woman will be the one to save the world. Also on the romance side, Sarah Connor knew she had to copülate with Kyle Reese to give birth to John Connor. While also in Arrival Dr. Louise Banks later figured that the child she's been seeing will be as a result of her romance between her and Ian Donnelly.

But please abeg don't crucify me, na my mind i talk as i dey think about the two movies. You can make a whole lot of fun of me though.

I honestly couldn't take you seriously after reading that. My brain just went nope and refused to compute.

Whatever suits you lady.

Why is it that sloggish movies are always nominated for awards? I watched ARRIVAL a week after watching the boring Nocturnal Animals. Arrival is a terminator rip-off, and i can say that the last terminator that featured Emilia Clarke was better than this movie. The only part of this movie i find interesting is the dialogue with Abbott and Castello, but then it also got boring. And they should have really solidify her future seeing powers, so that we can know she's special, but no they want her to keep having flashbacks that will determine what will happen later. Arrival 3.5/10.

And the dog said, 'the problem is me, i was only running for a meal, but the cat. The cat is running for her life'.

What about ya opinion? Will like to see your opinion on. not someone else's on imdb...

I like the movie, i really do. But some of the guy's thoughts were spot on along with some of the movie flaws he highlighted, that's why i posted his.

Hope they don't râpe her for him. Why post something like this? And also wrong caption.

Wow cute story. I loved it, so fast paced, i couldn't stop.
More grease to your joints.

So I watched Moana and boy, what a lazy movie it was. So full of good ideas, squandered on a passable family movie. And yes, I know it's Disney making a family movie, but it had all these ideas that would make a great story if they were taken more seriously. The premise of the movie is basically the whole world dying because of what someone did and they treat this catastrophic event as an annoyance instead of something actually serious. The protagonist is Moana, an absolutely average Disney princess type of character that wants to say no to being stuck in a life of safety and luxury. We've seen it a thousand times by now, it's nothing that stands out or even something logical in the long run since these types of sheltered characters do not know anything about the outside world and are in effect useless on their own. And I have to point this out about her which is one of the many things they didn't bother to clarify. Why is everybody fine with a girl being their leader? Do they have gender equality on this otherwise primitive island? If they do, they never showed it because any other leader we see in their history was a guy. Combined with how she doesn't drown 1 minute after going into the sea with zero experience further proves this movie is empowerment fantasy for little girls instead of a movie where talent and intelligence matter. But it's OK because the scriptwriter did his worst to plot armor her from any possible danger. Because you see, the gods chose her to be the one who restores the world, thus every time she falls in water, a magical wave takes her on the boat. When she doubts her abilities, the ghosts of her ancestors appear to motivate her. She is essentially a plot device fully controlled by the plot instead of doing what she wants and facing the repercussions of her mistakes. And if you think calling her the chosen one properly excuses all the nonsense, it doesn't because the gods make no sense. Why did they wait a thousand years to do something about a disaster that has killed most of the islands, and of all people why did they choose a little girl with no skills or experience of the outside world? They never explain it. Do you know what else they didn't explain? Why her pet pig doesn't grow up. She begins as a little girl and grows up to a teenager, but the damn thing remains a piglet throughout the whole movie. Nobody in the production team gave a damn. The problems don't even stop there. The first thing she has to do is find Maui, a demigod who has been stuck on a barren island for a thousand years and is the only person who can save the world. He is also the one who doomed it, so that makes sense. Also, for a guy who spent a millennium all alone without something to eat or do on a tiny island, he sure looked fine when she appeared. Disney went so safe and lazy on him that he is nothing but a cool guy who does cool things and has absolutely no sex drive, or psychological trauma for being left alone all this time. Accompanying them on their journey is a retarded chicken. It's the most annoying comic relief animal I have seen in my life. It's not funny, it causes more trouble than aid, and they never eat it although they never seem to have enough food. How the hell did it get on the boat in the first place? Moana didn't take it with her, it just appeared out of nowhere in the secret cave nobody had been in for centuries. Nobody in the production team gave a damn. You probably think I am being too harsh on what is supposed to be a dumb movie for kids, when I'm not since they clearly put effort in fleshing out the characters in a way that demands from the story to be better. Moana's father has a good reason for not letting her out in the sea. Maui has a good reason for why he keeps going on adventures and tries to impress the mortals. Even the villain of the movie has a reason for why she is evil. These are really good stuff, and they are ruined by the lazy script. If the movie was like that in all its aspects, I wouldn't be bothered by it. But when you set it up in a way that obviously raises the bar like that, the disappointment multiplies when you treat your good ideas like a joke. I can easily sum up all these problems as cheap resolutions. Everything is fixed way too fast despite the problems building up for countless years. The father changed his mind way too fast and lets his daughter sail in the sea, Maui changed his mind and returned to help her without even showing us how, and the goddess forgives Maui instantly, despite causing her pain and suffering for a thousand years, as well as wiping out the life of countless islands and filling the sea with monsters. Hell, even the disease that was slowly killing the islands went away in a few seconds despite spreading slowly for centuries.
He gave it 4/10 rating.

Someone really bash MOANA on Imdb..... read it below.

About 100,000 Australian university students are paying for
shopping trips, beauty treatments and nights out with the help
of their Sugar Daddy.

SeekingArrangement is an American company that allows
Sugar Babies to be financially compensated for spending time
with older men who have an income of over $200,000. It
insists there is no pressure for the women to have sex with
their Sugar Daddy.

The cost of attending university is continuing to rise, as well
as general living expenses, provoking women to join.

Maddison, a 27-year-old student at UNSW, told The Courier
Mail she has had three Sugar Daddies and is currently seeing
a 45-year-old man who lives interstate.
'I don't love him and he doesn't love me; we both know what
we want out of this relationship. He has asked me to only see
him as an exclusive Sugar Daddy, which I happily agreed to,'
she said.
'I receive gifts, beauty treatments, lingerie and handbags. He
also paid for my breast implants and I get an allowance. It
means I will graduate debt free and can focus on other things
when I finish,' she said.

Hahahahaha.... so funny. But if I were them, I wouldn't have started mocking Jammeh yet, because we did not not the leadership style of Barrow yet.... He MAY be worse than Jammeh, who knows.

Read well, the op wrote "It is reportedly during the last Common Wealth Day in Gambia". Means Jammeh was still in power then.

Doctor Strange was just there. But the best part for me was at the end, linking it to THOR.

I salute Marvel.

Stüpid girl, this was what Sir Mo Farah also said, before they explain what the executive order to ban people travelling from war torn Muslim country really is.

I can't believe this atüpid girl call a whole POTUS 'wacko', you are a foöl Hanna Dantata.

When the guy dey borage u for corner late in the night, when you were still dating him, u no talk. Now the guy dey come home late after marriage u dey talk.

I don't think he's an engineer. He should be a Technician or Mechanic as its being called in Nigeria.

Abortion is bad. The best thing is that you close your legs, or use protection. There are drugs that you will use after sex that won't make a lady pregnant.

Abortion is bad and illegal.

Do you find it interesting I watch it last evening because it is all over the news and a record 14 Oscar nomination. But in all fairness it is just a decent movie nothing spectacular except for the opening musical scene which is fairly awesome. Maybe i'm too critical.
