1. This is the second time I have watched the movie but it was recently enough that I remember everything I felt about it. I found the opening a bit boring until Colonel Weber shows up in Louise's office. I thought it was AMAZING. This was just one of the best movies I have ever seen. I regret not seeing it in theaters.

2. I feel like the favorite and least favorite characters are obvious. Louise was such an amazing, smart, and powerful character. I was just blown away by Amy Adams's acting. My least favorite was the leader of the assholes who blew up the ship. I knew he was going to do something stupid from like the second scene we saw him.

3. Ugh! I can't decide what my favorite scene is. I don't really have a least favorite. Some of my favorite scenes. The first time they enter the ship and shift....gravity. Or it might be the first time we see the heptapods for the first time. OR when Louise starts communicating with them. Or the climatic ending where she has learned to travel/manipulate time and is able to save them all by talking the Chinese general. Or perhaps is the opening scene/monologue that you don't really get until you watch the movie again.

4. It was phenomenal. Just...phenomenal. I listened to the OST for a month after watching the movie. I cannot think of a movie where the music embodied the movie more than this. It is such a shame that Jóhann Jóhannsson died so suddenly.

5. Everything about this movie was beautiful. The design for the ship is awesome (it was apparently based on a comet). The design of the heptapods is just so amazingly...alien. I loved every scene of this film. How they filmed the scene where she is in the heptapod's 'room' gave is such an ethereal quality was perfect.

Other thoughts: I love that both Louise and Ian got a time to shine. I love, love, love that Louise decides to have her daughter even though she knows what will happen to her. And I don't at all blame Ian for being upset when Louise tells him what will happen.

Me too! It had very good special effects - not OTT but more effective for all that. A big screen would've made the most of it, and of the wide empty landscapes.

Me neither. :( But I think I need to see it again, to get everything in the right order.

The sound would have also been so much better with some of that Dolby surround sound.

Yeah, I really felt like I got more from the movie the second go around. Especially with the opening scene and monologue!

I've now re=ordered it from the library! Hopefully I'll have a bit more brain this time around.

I hope you enjoy it again! I feel like movies like that are better watched a second time because the second time you don't have to worry about "the twist".

I hadn't thought of it like that, but yeah, "the twist" is something that hasto happen and it gets tiring after a while!
