Some games barely use any internet data . I ' ve played forza 3 for hours on my phone hotspot and used less than a 200 megs <| sep |> Apparently we ' ve decided that the best option at QB is None <| sep |> The overarching message of anything is usually blunt , especially for a movie . That ' s because it ' s just the surface level thesis that ' s supposed to put your mind in the right frame to analyze the rest of the film . It ' s the nuances that make it come alive , and Arrival was full of subtleties and attention to detail which enhanced the message . The tension was perfectly believable for me . There will obviously be a great deal of fear and uncertainty in that situation , and I didn ' t think any character ' s response to it was illogical . I like that it never escalated to some Independence Daylevel bullshit all of the conflict was intellectual until the very end . I sort of agree with you that the ending sucked , but that doesn ' t ruin the movie for me . I usually hate the twist ending that anyone should be able to call by halfway through . I just don ' t assign that much importance to it in this case . This isn ' t the best work of cinema in the past decade or anything like that , it ' s a very solid standout in this awful year for films .
