Ah man, this movie will always have a very special place in my heart.
- SehajPasricha 3y agoSame with me! Great movie.
- sateesh 3y agoIt is a good movie. But I feel the story it is based (from Ted Chiang) is superior. Some of the nuances in the story deals with (seeing life as a whole, inadequacy in conveying whole gamut of emotions, concepts in our day to day communication etc,) doesn't come out that well in the movie.
- deelly 3y agoInteresting, I watched movie before reading the story, and personally I liked movie more. Story is different in narrative and in the conclusion. Will be interesting to know is there a difference in a movie perception between peoples that read story first and people that come to movie without any idea what happens.
- kkylin 3y agoI guess this is one more data point: I read the story first, too, and liked it better than the film. The story ended with a certain ambiguity (in my mind, at any rate) that I took some time to think about, and which I enjoyed. The movie wrapped it all up a bit too neatly to my taste.
- neilparikh 3y agoI watched the movie first, but enjoyed the written story more (though I still thought the movie was great!). The big difference for me was the inclusion of the physics in the written story, and how it was connected to the linguistics.
- seanalltogether 3y agoArrival, The Martian, Moneyball, The Big Short, there's something magical about these movies that no matter how many times they are on TV I will just sit and watch them again. I don't know what it is about the stories but it probably has has something to do with that XKCD comic about the scene in apollo 13.
