Arrival staring amy adams and hawkeye is an ok movie. the squid aliens were cool and their language was cool. the thing w/ the soldiers trying to blow up the squid aliens was stupid and felt like filler cause they couldn't just have more boring scifi crap about language and aliens that only NERDS would enjoy also the last 10 minutes of the movie is a summary of the movie you just watched so if you watch the full movie skip the last 10 minutes after the aliens leave or if you don't want to watch the whole movie watch the last 10 minutes.

GonSmithe posted:I think Alex Jones idiots trying to blow up the aliens because they could be a danger is actually cool and good, much like the movie as a whole. it didn't make any sense in the context of the movie where the premise is what regular ol' humans would do in the situation. irl the soldiers there would be boring but competent same as everyone else in the movie and their primary job would be keeping actual crazies away. They attack the aliens so they can have at least one explosion in the movie and to make stupid people enjoy the lazy trope of the dumb, racist soldier. it sticks out as very bad writing in an otherwise pretty good film. the summary for stupid people at the end of the movie is there for a similar reason.

a better option would be to have the soldiers gunning down civilian crazies attacking the ship/camp creating tension between the scientists who want to keep studying the aliens and the government officials who want to maybe shut it all down to prevent more civilian unrest. this would also allow you to remove the china/Russia attack as a source of tension and maybe give them more of a role in the movie which would help sell the movie to Chinese audiences.
