back when Arrival came out - my wife kept referencing Evolution as if suggesting the characters a way to deal with hostile aliens. would've made a better movie if they did it.
Are you suggesting Arrival is a bad movie?
No. Furthest from it. But my impression of this movie is forever shaded by my wife referencing the shampoo weapon from Evolution and it is a funny thing to think about. Remember Sunshine? The bomb the sun movie that goes fuck it and morphs into a space slasher - it would've been this kind of tonal shift out of nowhere.
