Notes
Richard & I viewed this film at at large multiplex in Holtsville, NY -- Richard insists that sci-fi can only be seen at a large screen house -- It’s based on Ted Chiang’s novel “Story of Your Life,” focusing principally on the linguist, Dr Louise Banks (Amy Adams) -- While we both liked the film, we agree pretty much with the Roger Ebert review (see links).
