Hollywood likes to embellish things a bit and science out of the movies, especially with sci-fi movies, but according to this new Science Vs. Cinema video, the filmmaking team that created the ARRIVAL actually came very close to real scientific theories and practices and this is exactly why I loved the movie despite its appalling reviews.
The science of the Denis Villeneuve-directed film is discussed and evaluated by Mathematica creator Stephen Wolfram, SETI astronomer Seth Shostak, and linguist Jessica Coon. The video is almost 30 minutes long, it’s absolutely fascinating, you will love it more if you are into science and real aliens. Check out the video below.
