The eerie feel of his writing style might not translate to the big screen in some cases, which is why I went with a couple of fairly straightforward adventures.
It is amazing what talented screen-writers can do with complex science fiction.
One of my favorite short stories is “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang. It was totally mind-blowing and ridiculously complex.
I was convinced it would be impossible to make it into a movie.
I was shocked—but they did it—faithful to the original short story and a real treat:
“Arrival”, 2016—one of the best SF movies ever made imho.
