This is one smart movie and the second by Denis Villeneuve that I have thoroughly enjoyed (the other is Sicario, which I thought was completely engrossing). It is challenging and thought provoking but I did have to take some time to go over certain scenes before I had my “a-ha” moment. There are plenty of pure sci-fi action alien invasion films out there and I have enjoyed many of them as well. This was different but well worth watching…

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! It is certainly a film that improves with each subsequent viewing. Personally – I loved it the first time, and I adored it the second time.
Nick.
