1. Huh and at the end sort of uhhh.

2. I'm not sure I have a favourite. I disliked Louise after the big reveal, and I related more to Ian's negative reaction than her own actions. I didn't like her that much to begin with though. I found her arrogant.

3. I like looking at all the pretty language blobs. I felt a bit uncomfortable with all the bits like China gets the translation wrong and all these other countries like Russia and other places we are obviously superior to are reacting stupidly. Buuuut it's a very common theme in American movies.

4. I can't say I took much notice? I probably would have if I knew it was going to be in the quiz. So it was probably neither terrible nor mind-blowing.

5. Decent looking production. I think the parts where they kept things simpler worked well.

I don't really understand if seeing the language means that you can't change the decisions you will make that will lead to that outcome. I also don't understand if their exposure to the aliens and ship which at one point makes Louise look pretty messed up contributed to whatever the hell is going to be wrong with the kid.

I think I was supposed to find Louise a lot more sympathetic than I did.

I didn't think the squid look was very alien.

I probably won't watch it again but parts of it were somewhat enjoyable. I would be a terrible movie reviewer. Wow.

Crikey, I hadn't thought of that. :(

Honestly....I am not so sure they can change time? I read up a bit on how the time travel was supposed to work. It isn't so much that she time travels, it is more that she perceives time non-linearly. But I don't have a big enough brain to figure out how that works.

I always assumed her daughter got cancer but they are not really clear about it. I wonder if the book has more info about that. I know the author really liked the movie.

I always notice the music because I love OSTs!

Yeah, the time perception thing isn't completely explained. I just thought because she has this awareness of future events in the present, but she's also still making decisions in real time, so it does seem like she deliberately made the choice not to tell Ian. If she chose that, she could have chosen to do it differently? Unless she can't because she's seeing her own future and once she's seen it she can't change it??

I felt like I was being led by the film to see that she chose that even knowing that her daughter will die, and Ian will leave, but it was supposed to be noble or something. I don't see it that way though, at all.

I'd be curious to know if the book explores that further. I didn't know there was a book.

I think watching it on my laptop made the soundtrack kind of flat. It's probably best experienced in a proper theatre. With snacks.
