Fantastic movie! Don't expect big explosions and crazy FX, the classic laughable "American action movie"; no. Thank God, no. A brilliant movie, deep, that certainly makes you think and try to figure it all. Enjoyed it much!!!

A sci-fi of a different kind and aliens, this is a thriller, and for the very most part how to actually communicate with them, and what they are - or what they are on Earth for.

There were a lot of unanswered questions in the end; Why have they been twelve objects? What is the future in 3000 years, and how can humankind safe them?
Interestingly, it was alluded that the aliens might have traveled faster than light - a solution to them having seen the future?

It was very creative as well as entertaining for me!

Rating: 10/10

Interesting movie. You will not get bored at any point while watching. A treat for the sci-fi fans.

Managed to see this without knowing anything and thoroughly enjoyed it

Effectively combining tense and thrilling situations with
absurdly good sound design and an intellectually stimulating plot.

Eternalism, however, would definitely allow for the unbelievable retro-causation of Arrival to take place.
According to this form of 'non-Presentism,' objects in both the past and future
exist to the exact same degree as objects in the present, like three lines running side by side.

8 - Great

Wow such a good first contact movie, you get the feeling it's a real story. Great alien design as well.

loading replies

When I saw the trailer for this I was excited because for once I thought there would be a great plot... great acting... and of course aliens.

Okay so maybe I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up... the story is actually pretty good but it's the lack of action that's missing. It's more closely related to a drama than thiller. But.. it's still a good film overall...

7.5/10 another great movie from Denis he is one of the best nowdays!

It was okay. The premise was very interesting and I think that they had just focused on the building communication aspect, maybe a bit like Nell, I would have liked it more. I'm not sure the twist was necessary.

I've never seen straight actors struggle so hard to pretend to be into each other like Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner in this movie.

Wonderfull story, wonderfull actors, no glamour effects. Just inimaginable!

Excelente película sobre emociones humanas.

Peaceful, beautiful & contemplative scifi featuring one of the finest performances in the genre by Amy Adams. Story starts out simple but adds depth & layers towards the end. Visually beautiful & with astounding music, it twists & turns, becoming surprisingly dark. Classic!

My rewiew about “Arrival”

Well, in the beginning I was deeply interested in this movie because I like linguistic thematics and clever sci-fy deeds, and, in my lonely opinion, it holds these two topics in a very bright manner. Nevertheless, the movie in itself didn’t impressed me, the development of the alien code didn’t received its real emphasis to me, and I was saddly expecting it, and the movie fell in some dumb platitudes such as that last conversation between the protagonist and the major Chinese general, I have my objections to simple-minded and careless sentences such as “let’s just preserve the global peace” because it didn’t fit in our contemporary reality. Although, it’s necessary to say that the movie’s initial ideia was just fantastic, and that its insight to put an reading-future hability in the alien code was breathless as well.
Moreover, I just enjoyed that guardian’s rewiew about this movie, and the Arthur C Clark and Wittgenstein’s comantareis fited perfectly in this context, or don’t you agree that “there is just 2 possibilities in our world: We are alone in the universe or we are not, and both are, equally terrifieng”¿

Surprising plot, inspired direction, good acting (especially Amy Adams). A renewed vision of the first contact.

Another gem from Villeneuve.

Film barat berjudul “Arrival” ini merupakan film yang menceritakan tentang sebuah pesawat ruang angkasa misterius yang turun ke bumi. Kemudian untuk menginvestigasi pesawat ruang angkasa tersebut, dibentuk sebuah tim yang dipimpin oleh seorang dokter dan juga ahli bahasa, yaitu Dr. Louise Banks ( Amy Adams ) untuk menyelidikinya.

Dr. Louise Banks harus berpacu dengan waktu untuk mencari jawaban dan memecahkan misteri ruang angkasa tersebut yang juga bisa mengancam hidupnya serta seluruh kemanusiaan ini.

Still fantastic on rewatch. Crazy to think Denis Villeneuve did this then Blade Runner 2049 only a year later. He really knows hows to do sci-fi. One of my favorite directors working right now.

Loved it. Great story well delivered.

There was a lot that was good in this movie, but there were also some issues for me. The concept itself was very interesting. It's first contact from a linguistic perspective. It's the confusion, the hours of studying, learning, coordinating. This isn't action, it's about a process of growth and learning. So, overall it was very interesting, but there were two things that can be very frustrating. The first is that the plot jumps around a lot. At the end you begin to understand why and it all starts to come together, but that doesn't change the fact that about 3/4 of the movie feels very jumbled and disjointed. The second issue is that it is very slow. Now, I understand that in real life a process like this does months, and is very tedious and slow, but that doesn't make for a very enjoyable movie. With all the jumping around and downtime, it can feel boring at times. All that aside, Amy Adams does a great job and it's an interesting movie, but I just didn't love it. I liked it but didn't love it.

From my point of view the main message of this movie is how powerful and important language and time is.

loading replies

Throw great characters in a bowl with a strong and emotional plot and stellar editing (including a state of the art usage of the Kuleshov effect which sums up huge parts of the message in the beginning of the movie (w/o realising it @ the moment you see it)) and you will get Arrival, a science-fiction masterpiece!

Sorry but this movie was a waste of time.

loading replies

Arrival is an alien movie without alien as its central subject. It's more like a drama revolving its main character, Louise Banks (Amy Adams), on cracking the way we communicate and experience our life. It rests on Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that language shapes the way our mind think. Utilizing this hypothesis, the movie build on a premise that gives us an interesting non-linear technique in presenting the story and reveal a surprising twist in the end while still manage to grasp the audience suspense (without awkwardly dumbing it down like many other movies with a twist).

However, as it is centered mostly on Louise, the people and setting around her feel rather bland and weak. Major supporting character Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), despite having long enough screen time, appear nothing more than a prop to Louise. Relationship between them come off as a bit janky and sudden near the end. A number of other supporting character, especially Shang (Tzi Ma), also feel like a shallow plot device to keep the story going.

Still a good one for the interesting premise, not the best one for the execution though.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and CONTACT had a baby and they called it ARRIVAL. A quiet and gentle bit of sci-fi with a nonlinear romance and some tragedy thrown in for good measure, the only problem for me was that there was little in the way of chemistry between the leads. For that part of the story, at least, someone other than Adams would have been a better casting choice.

This movie was a false representation. They market this as an alien filled psi-fi fest- and it hardly delivers. Not sure if they were trying to put together a think piece- or try and make it seem like language studies are more important than they truly are.

There is hardly any alien, or military visuals in the film. Hardly any screen time with the martians- that isn't completely blurred.

You'll get about half way through this movie and think to yourself, "I know this isn't getting any better- but I'm already half way..."

Awful movie.

I love movies that make me think. "Arrival" is one of them.

Denis Villeneuve is becoming one of my favourite directors of his generation. Since "Prisoners" in 2013, he has been on fire with "Enemy" (2014) and last year with "Sicario".

Don't expect a typical alien movie like "Independece Day" or "Cloverfield".

If you know Villeneuve's work, expect a movie that in the end will leave you with several questions (which may only be answered with a second display).

Like is previous works, "Arrival" is a slow burn movie that pays off in the third act with a brutal ending where most of your questions throughout the movie will be answered.

Also, to highlight the performance of Amy Adams (she might get her sixth nomination for an Oscar) and the screenplay by Eric Heisserer.

well that shit was kind of depressing. doesn't feel like a film about aliens though, even though it's promoted as one. the moral is that life fucking sucks. i kangaroo anything else.

Watching the movie a second time (knowing everything that is going to happen but enjoying it immensely) is the right way to do it thematically.

loading replies

I don't know if it just my "render", but movie seems to have quite low contrast, that kinda fit overall feeling, so maybe it is intentional.

Audio issue where when you set up volume to hear dialog other noises are just extensively loud (ie. helicopter) is present, but it is not as bad as in action movies.

Otherwise nice movie.

Tought, considering audio bullshit, i should give 1/10.

I absolutely love this movie, now i've heard some people say they didn't love it cause you didn't see enough aliens and stuff..but i wonder if they really watched the movie. This movie is so cleverly done that you have to pay attention the whole time, and when the end comes I hope you've paid attention and that you'll be blown away like I was. This movie was put together so cleverly that it will rank among the greatest of all time...remember when you 1st saw the 6th sense? well be prepared cause this will blow you away too...if you don't get my comment then i'm sorry you prolly didn't get the whole movie

The movie is good but not great. It started out with a good idea and intriguing plot. The attempt to give the movie a deeper spiritual aspect was a bit awkward, like someone that tells you a ghost story without believing in ghosts at all. all in all the movie was enjoyable but not something that resonates for long.

I really didnt expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. I was smitten.
From the first seconds, Arrival, pulls you in with the soft voice of Dr. Loiuse (Amy Addams) Dr. Loiuse's thoughts and experiences makes you think about time , choices and who you really are. This movie not only makes you think , but also makes you calm down and relax. In our fast paced life this movie guide you to take a moment and just breath.
I think the choice of cast was spot on. The cast is made of well known and good actors and actresses. They complimented the movie even futher.
The cinematography is astonishing and I really hope this movie wins the Academy Award for best picture , because what i saw was beautiful and tranquil!

loading replies

What a fantastic movie! I was hoping for a less dramatic/action packed take on the 'first encounter' and that is exactly what I got. Such thought provoking and emotional messages throughout. I honestly was a little lost for words towards the end, definitely not a movie you can watch in the background you need to savour and enjoy every moment so you don't get confused.

Sure there were questionable moments, and a few times the characters actions were questionable but nothing's perfect. I will definitely be watching again, and recommending to family and friends. Amy Adams puts up a stellar performance

loading replies

I was really positively surprised by this movie. I mostly expected it to be yet another SciFi movie with action and war and stuff but there's a huge twist. A really great plot twist distinguishing it from all the other alien encounter movies out there.
I'm really surprised that Arrival is not nominated for an Academy Award, when La La Land is…

It's a non-action sci-fi movie but it's a good movie. I didn´t read the books but I just think Ian Donnelly could have more scenes and more character development. It felt like the story was only about Louise, the daughter and the aliens, but Ian was the father! He is the good guy and the movie ended with Ian being the bad guy, abandoning his daughter and his wife in the future. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching it.

This was a brilliant film, with a lot in common with Close Encounters and Contact - not an action scifi popcorn flick by any measure. It is intelligent and considered, and thanks to its original script/story it employs some unique concepts and challenges.
The acting and dialogue is far from perfect and the characters don't always behave in a rational manner or engage the viewer as they ought. Despite these issues it's a memorable journey.

Arrival was beautifully made and very on point for how the general world would react to any alien activity.

Some Highlights (In my mind):
-Use of something that sounded like a theremin to give that otherwordly feel to the world.
-Extreme Linguistics
-Aliens went viral (Of course they did, abduct me please)
