From personal opinion there are far worse films out there that are far more deserving of 1/10, and it would be insulting to put ‘Arrival’ down there with them.

Soon, a representative from the military shows up and requests that Dr. Not surprisingly, folks are scared and people want answers. In this story, 12 enormous space craft suddenly appear all over the world. The reason, I think, is because this sci-fi film is very cerebral….and not a bit like “Star Wars” and more traditional science fiction. Many hate it, many love it…more so than most films. When you look at the reviews for “Arrival” on IMDB, you might notice that there is a huge disparity among them. 9/10 Good…but also very slow and NOT the sort of film that pleases the masses. The story is of course sci fi, and hugely creative, but it’s never silly, it is incredibly intelligent.Īwesome special effects, I loved the design of the alien race, and their language, quite incredible.Ī story of hope, which I loved. There is nothing brash, or heavy handed about it, the story is superbly told, with well grounded characters.
