What’s the worst film you’ve seen recently?

Arrival. The reviewers who thought this was a complex and meaningful movie need either to get out more or stay indoors and read some decent sci-fi.

Apologies for slight spoiler but the world's leading linguist makes a communications breakthrough by taking off her spacesuit helmet and pointing at herself. It just gets worse from then on.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed Interstellar, with its implicit paradox in the outcome, and that is in this thread as a worst film.

Agree 100% about Arrival. Total pap.

You can’t beat a good book. I’ve just given up on The Expanse on Netflix, as it isn’t anywhere near as good as the books.

The exception that proves the rule? Contact. The film isn’t fantastic, only watchable. But the original novel by Carl Sagan is self-indulgent claptrap.

Mea culpa.
