You know it’s nice actually have Aliens in a movie that actually have good intentions instead of being extra terrestrial Killing machines

- Do you want to introduce yourself? Heptapod: O - Oh hi Mark!

By far, the best alien encounter depicted in any film I've seen.

Their ability to see the 4th dimension in a non-linear fashion is what made them so powerful.

Arrival was a glorious movie.

What blew me away in this story was these beings thought in telogy,meaning they existed in a state where they experience time all at once. Rather than the linear way we think. This allowed them to have a perfect picture of their own existence at all points in time.(this advantage is likely why they are so advanced.) So if you walk up to them and say hello, the creature not only knew that was going to happen but is experiencing that moment always,how you would expect a god would experience reality (omnipotence). What blew me away was when your learn their entire reason for coming is that in a few thousand years we eventually help them,so for them we are always helping them so they gave us non liner telogy as a gift and to aid in their own help. Its just an amazing scifi story idea and well implemented.

We need more movies where aliens arent bad killing aliens

This is by far one of my favorite sifi dramatic alien films. I suggest you all treat yourselves with the marvel that is Arrival.

Everybody's gangsta til the pods start walking

Seriously, total snubb that Amy Addams wasn't nominated as Best Actress for this film. Amazing performance from her!

humans, finally able to understand their language Heptapods : the Earth is flat

When our own technology begins to become advanced enough, it will start to resemble nature, not machine.

Very underrated movie IMO.

This movie is by far one of my most favorite scifi ever. How the entire movie played out similarly to how the language was supposed to induce a non-linear perception of Time. It's so perfect.

I honestly enjoyed these aliens in this movie, it gave a different feel about extra terrestrial life. Not everything should be out to seek destruction on earth, we just think of the worst thing to happen about things we dont know, this movie was a cool different point of view.

Alien 1: "Yo, Yo, Xfgnnmowniunvsanm, should we really have smoked all of that space crack?" Alien 2: "Chill oooouuut Yfhbkjxbcjbhebfhwecjwc, Its all good bruh! Hey, watch this, Imma convince these primitives that unifying their species is a good thing." Alien 1: "Come on maaan, no-one's dumb enough to fall for that shit." Alien 2: "Oh yeah? Bet!"

I've re watched this movie 3 times now and each time I am always stunned by how well it present the story, how it pulls audience in and throw you in a spin. It is so cinematic without the use of crazy flashy CGI in most action films too, it feels so dark and so mysterious. Overall one of my top favorite sci-fi movie, we need more movies like this instead of more CGI flashy boxing matches

*Space Splatoon*

We can really see how intelligent Heptapods are. Their intellect is rooted from good intentions and morals, and I believe that's the true essence of advancements...

It's quite rare to see Aliens that aren't Humanoid, and they want to be Inter-Galactic BFFs..

“The remembrance of a future that was yet to occur”...That’s good...that’s reaallly good

Might be my favorite movie. It seems so real, while other alien invasion movies like Battle LA are over the top action this one seemed so possible for some reason. I’ve never been so frightened and fascinated by aliens in a film. Do the heptapods remind anyone else of an Oscar statue? 😂

Good to see an explanation of these creatures.

Hey man, how are you today?

Can you explain the alien CALVIN from the movie "LIFE" Edit :I really really love this movie and I want it to be featured on such a good channel like yours as like the way u explain by going into each and every detail of the movie and the subject of the video

One of the few movies that depicts life as a varying quality, not every life form that are beyond our knowledge are seeking the destruction of our world or trying to gain dominance over all life.

I think a video about the Hive from Destiny would be nice to see; magical space demons? Yes.

I love the movie and encourage everyone to read the short story by Chang that it’s based upon. Other things described about the Heptapods: • They have seven eyes without eyelids, pointing at every direction. • When Heptapod moves, they do not turn; they strafe. Why turn when you see in every direction? • Heptapods eat with their anus/mouth located between their legs, like an octopus. • Heptapod speech ressembles rustle of thin paper. • Heptapod “speak” (or exhale) from a hole on top of their head, like a whale. In the book, the professor was not sure if this was speech or just an exhale.

Still waiting for that donnie darko review 👌🏻

Awesome new video Niyat!!

Can you do the aliens from "The Faculty"

Louise; "I don't think it makes me unfit for this job." Costello; "Oh really?"

They look like the apex-race that made the Reapers :( Never heard of this film but now I will check it out.

Those things gave me the chills, friendly or not i would be terrified and would probably scream like a little girl being up close to one

This movie was absolutely magical for me, having read the short story beforehand I was absolutely enthralled with the topic of using linguistics as a central plot point and their ex machina. It was just so refreshing and a breath of fresh air in a theatre season where action movies were (and still are) dominating. I really loved the whole "learning" atmosphere throughout the whole movie and to me it had the same feeling in later films which I held in high regards like Interstellar or Annihilation, both of which that really did well the climax where everything the audience has learnt throughout the film would fall into place.

You should do a video on SCP-231, the Scarlet King

Finally you made a video on this. Thank you dude

The Aliens helped humans, that's cool, I whised that there was a part 2 of this movie

If squidward had a space program...

Early to watch this mate I'll only get up this early for you

These are the Old Ones! They're ships are made of Blackstone! If Cawl only knew.

Would love to see some more Marvel comics covered, take your pick, you are the expert!

As I lover of all aquatic life and marine biology, I found the design of these creatures fantastic and hypnotic.

Bro you are by far the most useful KZfaq channel I have trouble understanding story lines in some of these movies but you explain it perfectly

Excuse me, FilmComicsExplained, but I really suggest you check out this greatly unappreciated movie called “Splinter” it’s similar to “The Thing” series, in the way that the characters are secluded in a small building with a monster that only wishes to spread/assimilate. It is one of my favorite horror films in the fact that you can agree with every course of action the characters make. The acting wasn’t overly dramatic, in fact the roles that the actors portrayed were very convincing and almost natural. The storyline and choice in setting was rather brilliant in the way it draws people in on the anticipation and thrill. All in all it’s a great movie and I just felt I was at liberty to entice film lovers.

I know some pods we can eat... EDIT:Can you review the Tri-pods (I think) on War of the Worlds?

My requests: 1) The Flood virus from _Doctor Who._ 2) The zombie virus from Charlie Higson's _The Enemy_ book series. 3) The future predators from _Primeval._

My favorite movie of 2016. Thanks Niyat! Great work as always. 👏😺

Great film and great video

You should do a video on yog sothoth or the nodens.

The most sophisticated alien design ever. If humans create civilization by two hands, heptapods basically have seven. Besides their whole body could be applied as a super huge hand. Followed by their time-transcending wisdom, their body, the octopuses incarnation, simply implies the superior agility and strength among all the other species.

I watched this movie just after reading about the Saphir-Whorf hypothesis in my sociology class. Such a unique approach!

alien language: O Humans: I think it means...to serve man.

2:36 this is probably right, but if they couldn’t breath our atmosphere, then at the end of the movie when they let the girl in, how was she able to breath the air in the foggy pod? That would mean that they manipulated the atmosphere so she could breath, meaning they could breath the same air. I could be wrong but just a theory.

Damn , FilmComicsExplained. I love your explanation of theory and ideas of the characters from movies. 👍🖒

FilmComicsExplained - you make really amazing reviews, it's clear that you really like movies....Amazing 100/100

Thanks Niyant

Damn those things are freaky looking, also are the Grimm from RWBY, or the 456 from TorchWood on the list?

That was a great movie. Wish they had more like this. Sort of like close encounter of the 3rd kind.

Always good topics. Keep going man. Great video

Heptapods, y'all need to stop smoking all that dank Space Weed! It's clouding up y'all's entire spaceship! I know it's a long trip but seriously open a window and let all that Spice Melánge gas out! We can barely see y'all in there!

I always assumed there were 3 Heptapods. Abbott, Castello and the "Shipmaster". Abbott and Costello were smaller than the one we/she meets in person and Abbott and Costello were injured and killed respectively.

The only problem I had with Arrival was that I wish it was longer. Maybe a mini series would’ve been perfect!

They're beautiful creatures. Seeing them floating confers serenity.

One of my favourite movie aliens and movie in general.

Please make video about Manos The Hands of Fate

Your videos are the only one's where I can leave a like before the video actually starts :)

They also didn't have eyes either. So they probably use echolocation or maybe, as some people speculate, they might be interdimensional beings. But one thing I remember watching the heptapods do in some instances is crouch down. That's a common thing lifeforms will do, like how humans will crouch down in front of something like a squirrel in a park. Larger lifeforms will do that to get down to the smaller one's level, as a means through body language to connect with it.

You know, an ARRIVAL2 could be awesome, and set in 3000years i he future when people help the hektapods

Heptapods sure are better than tripods

Those pods really do be vibin tho 😳

For every being, time is a line. The time of other beings can take many forms, but if you don't experience time, you have no way to change, so there's nothing you can do. A good example is time loops where a hero moves one way and remembers the past, but the time of all other beings creates a repeating loop for him.

When your language is coffee stains

Those aliens were just good bois looking for treats

Excellent video as always Niyat!

5:46 When Cthulu is your roommate.

Could you please Cover Bloodborne?

This film was great

Once again man, great video, looking forward to your next

How i felt returning home to face my parents stoned as an elf at 16 years old.

I would like for these “aliens” to be real because they have good intentions

What really bugged me with the movie is that the aliens are huge plus obviously very intelligent but they needed humans to help them with a future threat.

I just watched this again today, it relaxes me. I’m unsure as to why but it does.

Hey mate love the videos. I realise its a long shot but the Scarrans and their servile species from Farscape are pretty interesting. Keep up the good work!

Hey, just a quick correction: in the video, when you're talking about if they're male or female you use the word "asexual" instead of "genderless"

They remind me of the Zazabi X from Metroid Fusion

Underrated film

These are the most eerie creatures I’ve ever seen

Creature theorey: the are actually manifestation holograms formed by the thought powers of: Mace Windu

It started off ok and seemed like a good film, then to me, it dropped off and I didn't get it, definitely not one of my favourite science fiction films..

Everytime you post it’s like a mini Christmas. Keep it up man.

It's incredibly written creatures like these which brought me to love the sci-fi genre

Everybody gangsta till the [redacted] starts [redacted]

REEEEEEEEEEE

This movie blew my mind when I saw it the first time, I had to rewatch to fully understand.

NoBody: KZfaq recommendations: Me: Finally a good fucking recommended video

First off I just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of your channel and your content. With that being said I have a huge request for a small series of videos. Do you think it would be possible for you to explain the world of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. I would love to see videos on Captain Power and the rest of his team explaining the Power suits that they wear. It would be great to see a video on Overmind which is the evil artificial intelligence that wants to rid the world of humanity as well as Lord Dredd who is the Cybernetically enhanced villainess who believes man and machine belong as one. It would be great to see videos on his Biodredds like Sauron and Blastar. The world of Captain Power is so rich with incredible detail that it would be amazing to see breakdowns of all of the things mentioned above.

I’m prepared to quote Bender in suggesting that this film managed to *transcend the genre while reinventing it*. Whilst the elephant in the room for this (and many other) E.T: contract stories is generally humanities overwhelming anxiety in the nature of its response. Whilst that is very tedious to have to unpack as a rule, this film does it amidst a much more profound account of how a highly intelligent, lucid; relatable being experiences this oddly cyclical timeline. Ie. she alludes to knowing Jeremy Renner would knock her up and then shoot through and her daughter would pass tragically the very instant her conscious mind grasped the possibility they’d be amorous.... she adds insight like ‘knowing what I know doesn’t change a thing’, ie. it’s better to have loved and lost. Few films opt for depth and request something of their audience in kind. This is hopefully a trailblazer for how edgy tails can be told well. Those shots of ships over misty fields in a simple but stark backdrop.... was like ‘whoa’. Talk about less is more. The notion which the military are frenetic about as their ‘God given right’ to respond with aggression’. They didn’t lob when, where and how they did just to bushwhacked by some *misguided patriot*. I can’t help but feel the notion that society as we know it will crumble into anarchy if the Nan’s and Pop’s of the world suddenly had to acknowledge E.T’s we’re getting around. Society isn’t quite the neurotic, self-obsessed; basket case it’s depicted as in the media....

I wish more sci fi movies would would do non-humanoid, unrelatable aliens like this. feels more genuine.

Can you do a video on the T-X from Terminator 3 and Marcus from Terminator Salvation? You did awesome videos on Skynet and the other terminators and I’m hoping you can do a video on those movies.
