DO NOT WATCH ANY TRAILERS FOR IT. GO IN BLIND.

I can't stress that enough. It was a wild ass ride and I have no idea if the ads spoiled anything but it's likely they did because ads suck balls. I cried during this movie. I was sucked in. I was fully enveloped in the expertly crafted story. Villeneuve is a f*cking master at emotional depth and character building and even though I'm still elated after seeing it, it might be his best film. It might be one of the best sci-fi films ever. It's that good.

It's human. It's suspenseful. It's heartbreaking. It's everything I love in a movie.

Go f*cking see it.
