...and the 2016 movie titled Arrival is yet another (VERY likely White Hat inspired) gem from that list that will one day be heralded as a movie that was most essential for mankind overall. Mark these words.

I "watched it" in the background while I worked, which is to say I didn't really watch it at all. The bits and pieces I saw seemed far less offensive to my standards than I expected from the user reviews I'd read. Not really my go to in terms of style but I would recommend it if you're interested. Didn't seem like complete shit. Then again, I enjoyed the first three Matrix films on their own merits. š
Watched Arrival twice. Not really a fan but can but see why others would enjoy it. Generally, I dislike Villeneuve's work. Both artificially sterile and precious in my eyes, which reminds me of sociopathy. If one can overlook that, more power to them.
Frankly he gives me bad vibes, and I came up on the most repugnant video nasties. It's not just what he makes, or how he makes his films. It's also that he's been championed to remake very important scifi classics (which both surprisingly included much of the underlying human pathos of Dick's original texts!) and turn them into shoegazing vaporware. TBF, I saw Blade Runner 2049 too drunk but I've seen enough of his work to not rewatch it.
Enemy is interesting though...
But hey, cheers! Try some Tarkovsky. āļø
See ^^^this is why I trust Pede Movie Reviews over Paid Movie Reviews anyday! š :)
