Extremely good. Based on a sci fi short story you should not read first.

I went to it last night. Really liked it. It was a good alien movie for a date night.

I agree. It's an excellent movie. My wife, who typically hates science fiction, also really liked it.

I loved the way the alien would splatter his spooge on the glass wall and then was like, "Hey Louise...I just sent you a message"

So, no one thought this was just another Hollywood call to end xenophobia and welcome aliens to our midst?

Saw it today. Thumbs up.

Would an intelligent 11 year old find this engaging or will he just sit and complain that he ran out of candy?

Probably depends on the 11 year old, but Star Wars it ain't.

No. He would find it to be too slow.

He would find the gaping plot holes and be pissed

The whole question of causuality

All right. We will go see Sing instead. hearing mixed reviews on that as well, but if its not as bad as "into the woods", we'll survive. (We go to the movies on New Year's Eve.)

The unmooring of an individual in time eliminates the concept of free will. There is no freedom, the path is set in stone

Shit, Niggah. That assumes a single timeline for the universe. It may be branching continuously, and in another parallel universe she does not do exactly the same.

Or the glimpses into the future may just be constraints, like tying down two ends of a rope. Infinite possibilities for how the rope lies between those points.

Here, I'll spooge a more complete answer.
