I watched this with my dad today. Was this dude tripping out? There should have been a nuclear bomb strapped to him there's almost no way to communicate with an alien and telling them where earth is also suicidal. Then it ends with a religious song the whole thing was odd.
>>
>>219690133
wat

>>219690133
This. It felt like the sorta movie they’d make during the end times to distract everyone from the fact it’s the end times.
>>
>>219690133
>here's almost no way to communicate with an alien
he did though. they were both intelligent and used numbers to find a common starting point for translations

>telling them where earth is also suicidal
why? earth's atmosphere is poisonous to the eridians. what interest would they have in earth?

Just watched it, it really isn't as good as shills were saying

Check out Stanislav Lem "His Master's Voice" is a good one "Shroud" is another by a different author if you are dealing with something so foreign you shouldn't assume its doing more than mimicking you. You can telegraph SOS but they'd probably be out for resources not to give you a party favor.

There aren’t aliens. They’re demons dammit. The rock monster in this motion picture was a demon.

I just saw it too. The book was better.

Surprisingly good movie, I rike it.

This stony spider nigga can see with soundwaves, travel across the galaxy but it can't grasp radiation? What are stars according to Eridians? Big hot balls of sound?
>>
>>219692099
the one space traveling would obviously be very intelligent and the more intelligent something is the less impulsive and prone to reactive violence they are. now if he landed in an alien ghetto filled with the dregs of their alien society you might be right.
>>
>>219692444
He’s just a little guy, he ain’t that bright outside of spaceship stuff.
>>
>>219692444
The don't know about ionizing radiation. They know about light and other forms of radiation. In the book, Rocky believed that space was empty and had to have the concept of high energy particles ripping through DNA (or whatever equivalent Eridians have) and destroying it.

This feels like a watered down Interstellar to watch with half of your brain off, clearly only carried by the visuals and Gosling's presences
>>
>>219692444
This was their first space ship and space mission, they don't usually bother with space shit. Their planet has a very thick atmosphere so they never really get radiation so they don't know about it.

RELEASE THE FOUR HOUR CUT

It took me a little bit also, because they mostly failed to explain relativity in the movie I think.
In general the movie mostly glossed over the science bits, which is a big shame. But I guess normies wouldn't like it or something.
>>219666451
Again, the book is basically the same.

Actually what I haven't seen anyone talk about was their decision to change the lady in charge from Dutch to German. Was it a casting choice or what? A bit bizarre.
>>
same reason they leave out showing detailed effects of dysentery and other ailments in 1800's sail ship exploration movies
>>
a disappointing movie, really wanted to like it; just too damn low IQish
>>
>>219694996
This was the only major plot point that missed me.
>the entirety of the UN unanimously voted a woman into the most powerful international position on earth with authority to do anything and demand anything

I dont think even a single nation in the UN would agree to that. The P5 would all vote for themselves and the rest of the seats would do nothing and say nothing of note as always.

Aliens are a competitor
Flying a FTL object into a planet is a world-ending event
>>
>>219688859
Now THIS is the power of math!
>>
>>219706765
It's a good thing nobody in the book or the movie has FTL travel. Were you even paying attention? Lack of FTL is a plot point
>>
stratt wasn't hardass enough, miscast
the scene where he gets forced to take part in the mission fell flat partly because of that, the chase made it somewhat comedic which it isn't supposed to be
>>
>>219688859
He is a microbiologist, they are like that irl I assure you
>>
>>219692099
They go into comas when they sleep so they have a lot more biological incentive to be friendly than humans and humans are extremely friendly to the idea of first contact at least the ones at space programs are
>>
>>219707227
traveling to another solar system (and back) without FTL would take centuries, wouldn't it? ain't no fuckin' earth to come (or send anything) back to in that case
>>
>>219708754
The plot point is the alien substance thats dimming the sun is used as a fuel source for a ship to the one star system humans see isnt dimming. It takes over 11 years to get there with astrophage and 2/3 of the astronaughts die in discount suspended animation coma.
>>
Just finished it, 7/10 ok movie. Annoying fucking ironic nerd t-shirts Ryan wore pissed me off

Just returned from the kinotorium. 8/10. It's Reddit but it embraces it.

>what I haven't seen anyone talk about was their decision to change the lady in charge from Dutch to German. Was it a casting choice or what? A bit bizarre.
It's the same thing. This is how the world sees you, sorry.
>>
>>219707459
They should have kept the fact that there's a rare coma resistance gene limiting who can go, and that Grace has the gene, and he was only kept around for that reason, he was always their plan B.

Rather than in the film, they didn't want to delay the mission a few weeks. Despite the fact the whole mission takes decades.

All aliens will know where Earth is now just by the fact we stopped astrophage in our system. That flags us as having life.

>gosling stars in yet another movie designed to ingratiate ourselves to robotics *aka aliens

Why did the CIA chose him

I think adding a little girl in the flashback scenes who grows up to be an adult, at the end of the movie, would have helped show time passing. I also thought it was weird decision to not age Goose at the end.

Having a special fuel wouldn't allow you to travel faster than normal unless you had other technology to use the fuel in s special way right? Also, how far was the trip again? If it's light years away, we'd need to be able to travel at at least the speed of light to get there in 10 years. Anything of sufficient size traveling that fast would easily be catastrophic if it collided with Earth.

This site is insufferable. I can't deal with it anymore. The people are of lower quality and it was always like this but rarely you find anything worth reading here anymore.
You're all trash. You're half bots, half morons.
>>
>>219690677
The idea that a sentient spider made of rock that lives in a pitch black abyssal plant and views using echolocation would have anything even resembling what we would consider to be language is just laughable. The only scifi film that's come close to approaching the topic is Arrival and it still cucks out in the end
