Poor Coco :cry:

[Pere Jere]

The Witch is one of my favorites of the last five years.

[Hunchback Jack]

Agreed. My favourite of this group, no question.

Gravity is great, but it's no Arrival.

[fernandito]

Gravity is great, but it's no Arrival.

That's a curious comparison... those are two very, very different films.

[Still Servant]

Yeah, one is a Sci-fi film, one is not. I will go to my grave saying that.

[mae]

Awesome to see The Witch doing so well after it had to go through a tied tiebreaker in Round 1.

[Hunchback Jack]

Gravity is great, but it's no Arrival.

That's a curious comparison... those are two very, very different films.

I guess I connect them in my mind because at the time that Gravity was released, it was touted as an amazing science fiction film because of its “technical accuracy”. I watched it, and then saw Arrival not much later, and so the question of which was the better science-fiction film was very much on my mind.

(Gravity is fun, incidentally, but I wouldn’t call it particularly technically accurate. Regardless of that aspect, I think Arrival is the stronger science-fiction film.)
