So, I saw this moive late at night with some wine at hand, it held my gaze and kept me wondering about what happens next. It's uniqe, chill, stilish and at times even gripping. Now, if you want to geek out and have a "true to life" sci-fi, then you won't like this flick. But if you want to immerse yourself for a couple of hours with the idea of taking to aliens, be my guest.

I thought this movie had such a good premise, and really good execution. The performances throughout the movie were brilliant, the design, cinematography, editing were all fantastic. But the ending ruined it for me, it turned the movie into something it didn't need to be. I won't spoil it as you can make up your own mind, but it left me wondering why it even happened. Overall though, the film is something that the sci-fi genre needed, an alien movie based on intelligence, not shooting them up. It is worth a watch.

I had low expectations for this movie, you've seen one alien movie you've seen em' all right? Nope. I was pleasantly surprised by Arrival, who renewed my faith in the industry. Finally, a creative, new premise! Arrival is a beautiful story les by Amy Adams who's performance was one of the better ones I've seen as of late. Her chemistry with Jeremy Renner feels very natural and genuine, and Forest Whitaker is always good. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat, turninging in circles, and weeping all at the same time. 8/10

This movie was great. At first I thought it would be a cheap mix of the "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "Sphere". This movie was so much more. I went into this movie with low expectations which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. In all, this movie had a plot twist that was more beautiful than plot ruining.I know a movie is great when I am driving to work the next day (1 hr commute) and I can't stop thinking about it.This movie is free on Hulu, if you have not seen it yet, please do so
