I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised

I know that I enjoyed this movie but I don't remember it at all. Yay, I get to watch it again like it's new.

Me rewatching a movie:

"Oh yeah, I remember this part..."

"Oh yeah, I remember this part..."

So good. I think I listed it as my favorite movie for a while.

The thing I remember about this movie was that India got mad one of the fictional aliens from this movie decided to land in Pakistan instead of India.

The other thing I remember was that they for some reason decided to show the location on the map as "Punjab, Pakistan" which is even more generic because it's a province not a city.

I could see India being upset over that because it's disputed territory. Edit: This is incorrect, Kashmir is the disputed territory.

No that's Kashmir.

Punjab is technically a region that also happens to be the name of the province in both Pakistan and India since they both encompass the same region.

Thanks, that second fact is what threw me off! So they could have said either and it should not have been seen as a political statement either way (which is how I saw India being upset over it.)

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah essentially.

India was just mad because of general rivalry lol

I watched it because Lingthusiasm has a podcast episode about it and loved it too!

[–] HexPat@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Watched it last week for the first time. Really enjoyed it

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I don't remember much about the movie, but isn't it one of the movies where time gets wacky?

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The rule is simple: if uts by Denis Villeneuve, YOU WATCH IT

Really is a good view.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

Genuinely one of the best movies of all time IMO

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I’ve only watched it once, and I really didn’t like it. I feel like I need to give it another shot though.
