Is this really was just a modernized re-telling of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, except not as good?

No. The opposite does. We’re too dumb to succeed, so when we unavoidably off ourselves, no one would be there to pick up the slack.

This movie has a lot of features of a typical shitty Hollywood film: cliches, glaring plot holes, weak cinematography with blurred backgrounds and screen edges, monotone color grading in many scenes, etc. But the story was interesting, and I enjoyed it.

I read that Emily Blunt spent months practicing Russian and Korean. I don’t know about Korean, but I was pretty impressed with her Russian. Not only could I understand what she was saying (as a native speaker, I usually need subtitles when Hollywood speaks “Russian"), but her delivery felt so natural in that scene. She’s good.

It was… ok.

Maybe I’ve just been watching too many vfx breakdowns on YouTube, but I found them disappointing in this. The animals and the car / train scene in particular.

I read on IMDb that they used a real car and a real train wagon, allegedly spent a lot of time designing all that. And yet it looked so bad in the movie. CGI is rather weak, we had this level of quality 10 years ago.

Steve Spielberg’s movie, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, was released in 2001.

24-25 years later, AI is everywhere.

Disclosure Day in 2026, so in 2050-2051…
