ARRIVAL...is what great science-fiction is about. Intelligent, superbly acted, engaging....and devoid of the usual attacks and special effects explosions which characterize much of the genre today. ARRIVAL does however, require a bit of "gray matter" to fully appreciate....and for that reason alone, if your idea of entertainment is teen-age bathroom humor then ARRIVAL is most definitely NOT your cup of tea. Incredible soundtrack perfectly accentuates the depth and meaning of this film, as well as the comprehensive and truly informative "extras" that come with the Blu-Ray edition. Highly, highly recommended!!

I bought this because of all the great reviews, and it's Rotten Tomatoes rating. I can't trust that site anymore. I went into this thinking it was going to blow my mind. It was slow moving and even once you figure out the "aha" ending it's more like, "ok". I'll watch it again though. Maybe get more out of it the second time.

If you're looking for an ACTION PACKED fall-off-your-seat movie, don't waste your money. This is an interesting spin..... it makes you think.... I'm going to have to watch it a few more times to put the pieces together. Just my honest opinion...

An alien race arrives on earth in 12 different places at one time, which forces the different countries of the earth to try to work together to determine the intentions of the visitors. There is a wonderful plot twist to this movie which would be one gigantic spoiler if it were discussed in a review! This is a thoughtful movie, and not a scary or gory thing. The main character is a linguist - she is a language specialist who tries to help the U.S. military communicate with the aliens of an alien ship that lands in Montana. The movie was so well done, I had to immediately watch it a second time. The music is haunting and perfect. The storyline will have you thinking about it for days. A thinking person's movie - there you go, and I didn't give the plot twist away at all.

If you are a deep thinker, you'll probably enjoy this movie very much. It's one of the best scifi movies. It deals with concepts of time and whether a person should choose to do a thing, knowing it will bring not only great joy but also terrible grief. And it portrays a hopeful future where humanity looks beyond its phobias and unites. The aliens were amazingly original as was their method of communication and technology. Yet, in spite of the vast difference between them and mankind, they bridge the gap with a breath-taking demonstration of sacrificial love. There have been very few scifi movies that stir the soul as profoundly as Arrival. Perhaps Enemy Mine from 1985 comes close. I highly recommend Arrival.
