Anyone else see the new Spielberg, and what'd you think?

For me, it really worked. I liked the larger theme of empathy being the advanced emotion that the aliens recognized, which felt timely given the hellworld we live in.

I really enjoyed it too. Spielberg's my favorite director, so new sci-fi from him is like catnip for me. Performances were great. The themes were powerful. And you still get some of that classic Spielberg spectacle (the car chase, the part with the train).

I absolutely loved it, and really didn't expect to enjoy it that much. Subverted my expectations in some cool ways, and Emily Blunt was phenomenal

i saw it over the weekend and i had such a good time. it felt and looked like a MOVIE, and emily blunt was so good!

Kansas City didn't get nuked, destroyed by a natural disaster, or otherwise maimed. 5 stars for me.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it! My wife less so hahahah

I really did like that it was a movie ass movie, but nothing tangible happened when you really dig into it. So it's best to just think of it on summer blockbuster terms and just enjoy it in the moment

I can't explain it but this feels like a metaphor for life.

Oh man I didn't know this was out yet! I'll have to go see it!
