Reviews
Smashing UK Productions: Prior to approaching this film, a word of warning that it is what many like to call a "thinking person's sci-fi". If you're going to watch this, I beg that you dedicate your utmost attention to it, as it is truly one rewarding experiences, one of the smartest, most well-constructed science fiction m…
Gimly: Denis Villenueve offers a great film, but one that is exactly what the trailer put forth, this is not a Sci-Fi War film waiting to happen, or a modern-day horror. It's a character-driven piece about politics, life, humanity and communication.
_Final rating:★★★½ – I strongly recommend you make the…
Reno: **It was a perfect contact, but troubled at the communication.**
The film was decent. Nowadays there are lots of altered versions coming that you won't easily say those are the remakes or reboots or spin- offs or whatever they call them in these days. Like 'Premotheus' to 'Alien', this film can r…
tmdb47633491: "I have a brilliant idea for a movie so what we do is we watch scientists step-by-step learn to communicate with an alien species"
"That's awesome but we need an emotional component or audiences will be bored"
"Okay the main scientist's daughter is dead and we show clips of that every couple m…
BadChristian: Arrival is an attempt to take a more realistic approach to how an alien visitation would play out, especially within global politics. The main thrust is that Amy Adams has to find out what the aliens want before any other country can fuck it up and they did a great job in casting Amy Adams. I'm not …
Matthew Brady: Well damn.
I couldn't stop thinking about this one and may not for awhile. "Arrival" is one of the best Sci-Fi films I've seen in this year. Everything about this film was just top notch that I can't put into words without going all over.
So let put it like this:
Amy Adams was wonderful in …
20thCentury: Arrival has created the most profound and seamless symbolism, notably through cinematography/imagery, that may have ever been achieved to date in film.
On the surface, this appears to be a story about humans making contact with an alien species. For those with keen critical thinking skills, the s…
Penguinatic: This may be my new favourite film. I was so emotionally involved in this film, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit a few tears were shed towards the end.
Filipe Manuel Neto: **An excellent film, where the main theme is not what it seems.**
In general, I'm not a big fan of movies involving aliens… in part because they seem extremely unlikely to me (I don't really believe there is another planet with intelligent and skilled living beings like humans, or at least not …
Andre Gonzales: ok movie really boring at times. it was only interesting to the space craft and the aliens. other then that it was pretty dumb. working together and love is something the planet will never understand. well at least our leaders wont any way.
sirdorius: I loved the visuals in this, and Amy does a great job of carrying the cast. I am able to suspend my disbelief for 120 minutes when watching sci fi, so I will avoid the useless "but that's not what the military would do" comments.
The movie has a great setup talking about language, cul…
CinemaSerf: Accomplished linguist "Louise" (Amy Adams) is drafted in by the US military to join an international team of scientists charged with trying to communicate with twelve spacecraft that have landed across the globe. Upon her arrival she encounters "Donnelly" (Jeremy Renner) and the pair work on finding…
