A lot of people thought we'd never see another classical sci-fi movie again, a slow burn that emerges you in information by focusing on mathematicians, linguists, biologists, etc. in a lab, solving a problem. After the "nerfing" of sci-fi, it seemed like it would never happen again and as far as i know its only happened a couple times in the past 20 years (this and Primer). And both movies tend to be a bit overrated by their fanbases because they not only made a classical movie style we just dont see anymore, but did it very well. The pacing is perfect, its just not a pace for everyone.
