The investigation of Language was what made "Arrival" so interesting. After the Aliens land, Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is recruited to try and communicate with them. The breakdown of the challenges of communicating with something that is totally foreign is exciting.
The film moves at a slow pace and there are going to be viewers who won't have the patience to enjoy it. "Arrival" does a great job keeping the aliens mysterious and the purpose for their visit is simply hinted at. There is also a satisfying twist that concerns the dream-like states that Dr. Banks experiences.
Visually, this isn't going to win any awards. It's a murky looking film and everything seems like it's some shade of grey. The alien craft is ominous but basically looks like a massive skipping stone. This isn't necessarily a happy film, either. In fact, it's rather sad.
If you're tired of watching Marvel, DC, and Star Wars movies, give "Arrival" a try. It's thought provoking and leaves room for your own imagination to work on those "what if" questions that the universe has to offer.
