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 film was very thought-provoking, especially in its early stages, because it broke down the challenges of communicating with something that is totally foreign.
The film moves at a slow pace and there are going to be viewers who won't have the patience to enjoy it. It was entirely engrossing and the purpose for the aliens' visit could make your imagination run wild. There is a twist that is pretty satisfying but hard to grasp and it concerns the dream-like states that Banks experiences. It makes "Arrival" better but presents a point of confusion that is best left for viewers to discover on their own.
"Arrival" looks nice and really does a great job to keep the aliens mysterious. My attempt at not spoiling this film makes me wonder if writing this review has any value. It seems frustratingly vague but this is the type of film that I enjoy over all others. This generates a lot of questions and leaves a lot of room for your own imagination.
