I don’t recall any gags, can you point a few out? But I do agree, wasn’t as good as it could have been.

Blind guy chasing his eyeballs down the street was pretty goofy.

I remember Cruise chasing an eyeball down a corridor. I don’t remember a blind guy doing it.

I was trying to semi-sidestep spoilers.

He was “blind” at the time though. Or couldn’t open his eyes or something. I remember something about light ruining the transplant or something dumb.

Oh yeah…although I think the blindness had worn off at that point…maybe?

i recall that scene. i don’t think i would call it a gag, but fair enough. it isn’t a great sci-fi movie. has some good elements, but certainly is missing something. i will agree with your statement of it being inconsistent.

Minority Report is a bit of an odd beast.
But the easiest way to fix everything?
Cut the whole ending. Leave it where it should have been left…in the place where our lead character goes…or add a tag ending.

HACKSAW RIDGE

It wasn’t PURE EVIL!!?! I had braced myself for Gibson pandering and groveling before his masters with the standard “You idiots have to lay your heads on the chopping block after handing your children over to whatever we want before their throats are cut if you want to be real Christians” type BS. How does this prepare us for their Great Culling?

Everything was outstanding. I think it’s the best war movie I’ve seen.

ARRIVAL

Very good pure scifi. Fine performances. I liked the easy pace, except that it took time from further developing the philosophy and examinations of language and how it effects perceptions. I wouldn’t have minded an additional 20-30 minutes of runtime on top of the 115 minutes.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

The absence of some exposition about the causality loop creating inevitability, or a need to act out future events to ensure a good outcome, left the decisions of the protagonist seeming, possibly, horribly selfish and irresponsible. Maybe we shouldn’t feel bad about children bred for slaughter because it helps to make everything good thousands of years in the future.

And this does help advance ‘The Great Culling’!!! A good dose of predictive programming with seven limbed Hydra beasts, multi-dimensional graphic time independent codes, and the need to do horrible things in the near-term to help the time independent Hydra beasts achieve greatness in the far future. Jives wonderfully with the hoax bible codes and hoax Omega Point theory coming from the same jesuitical folks who gave us the hoax ‘Piltdown Man’ “proof” of atheistic evolution.

Gags (spoilers, maybe):

Cruise jumps off of a moving car to crash into a yoga studio in an uncomfortable position as a woman with her head between her legs waddles over to assist.

Cruise jumps on the back of a jet pack policeman, who then flies into an apartment, cooking their hamburgers for them as the woman keeps yelling to get out of her apartment. This is followed immediately by cutaways to the family in the apartment above backing away from their dinner table just before the jet pack flies through it.

Cruise drops his (old) eyeballs and chases them down a hallway into a sewer grate.

I think there were a couple others, they just didn’t fit. Maybe a fan edit would help, but I don’t care enough to find/make one.

Saw Arrival last night again. Hands down…confirmed…my favorite movie of the year. Made me cry. The only other time Iv cried during a movie, is Return of the King.

i finally got to see it. Very good movie. For a year that didn’t have very many good movies, it certainly gets a high rating from me as well.
