Arrival
Something that bugs me about Arrival
... it's implied that when Amy Adams develops a deep understanding of the heptapod's language, it opens up new possiblities in her brain that allows her to flash-forward to later her own life. But unless I'm totally mistaken, she has those flashforwards from really close to the start of the film, before she sees a single projected glyph by either Abbot or Costello. HOW COME?
I have other problems with it, it doesn't really stand up to a lot of thought and wossname Renner's character is woefully underdeveloped (I don't even know what his actual role at the project is, they pretty much just call him "SCIENTIST" and leave it at that) and taking a white-board to write on up to the spaceship is not a sign that Amy is a maverick genius, I think anyone might think of doing that. And a zero-sum game is NOT a win-win situation, Texas Hold Them is a zero-sum game and is not a win-win situation. There is also not much chemistry between Amy and the Renner man and Forrest Thingy is just a cardboard army stereotype, and that's about it for characters who get more than a coupla dozen lines.
OK so that turned into a mini rant but mainly I would like an answer to my first question persons who have seen the film THANK YOU
ETA: OH WAIT HANG ON, did she actually say NON-Zero-sum game in the film? If so I retract that one complaint
