Reception by the folks in general. It's solid and really well-made sci-fi movie of the thoughtful variety, something that is rather rare, especially when it comes to the mainstream. However, it didn't feel quite as groundbreaking as some people were making it out to be.
The Primer is more thorough, the Annihilation, I feel, explores its theme more in-depth and The Moon pulls off few amount of locations far better. In the end, Arrival exists, in my opinion, in this strange in-between state where it doesn't do some single aspect extremely well, even if to determent of other aspects. For me personally 2001:The Space Odyssey it not.

I watched Primer some time ago but that was very hard to understand but good movie nonetheless. Annihiliation, is that watchable if one doesn't like horror? Is the main plot focused on threats against to humanity or is exploration more important? I liked The Moon. Something about the solitude and feeling trapped. I can't think of many movies that explored the limits of language as well as in Arrival with a sci-fi setting. 2001 2nd half is rather confusing, even more so than Primer but it was years ago since I last watched it.

my prob is that i watch a killer movie and really enjoy but it is lost in memory to the avalanche of binge watching that i do elsewhere. only way to remember is to scroll thru viewing history which is a pita. this is old age folks. your future.

The comics are great. I really like them, also because they expand the Hellraiser universe in a meaningful way.

I mean Hellraiser: Hellworld. I think, it´s the eighth movie in the series. It hasn´t a good reputation, but I like to judge by myself.

Then there is that one comic with that 'doctor' who goes through various dimensions battling supernatural ailments and such, who met and talked with cenobite type entities at one point.

Who?

I forget the comic's name, but he had an assistant called penny dredful/dreadful I think.

I suggest watching "Blade Runner 2049".
Be advised that watching its precursor "Blade Runner" is highly recommended because some elements return in the sequel, but if you are short on time, the synopsis should be enough. The two films have their own identity though, so I can't say for sure you will like them both. There are also short movies that were made for 2049, and if you intent to watch them, do it before the main movie.

I hope you will have a good time like I did.

Ugh. I hated 2049. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a diehard Blade Runner fan, railing against anything new or different from the original, but I did find the original far better overall - and I only watched the original fairly recently as well. 2049 was overlong and felt like a sequel for a sequel's sake. It's "pretty" but not endearing to me.

Thank you. I couldn't put my finger on what was bugging me about that film. I agree with that sentiment.

No, I mean they were made for the contemporary audience that have now grown older and reminisce about what they recall as the best part of their life, including the entertainment that (serendipitously) just happened to be around when they were in the prime of their lives. It's the halo effect, or guilt-by-association in reverse, if you like.

Having said that, Yes, those movies you watched earlier will soon be the same ones that seniors will prefer to watch (mutatis mutandis) so your original statement is not false.* :o
