Variation on a Theme ("Arrival" Theme that is)

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2018)

It's about what appears to be a non-terrestrial intelligence on earth. But it has a different spin. For me, the last 1/3 of the movie was the best. The color and cinematography was pretty good. I watched it at home (65" plasma screen) with some pretty good equipment (DENON AVR and SSONY4K blu-ray player). The script... in the main, for me, left a lot to be desired. It seemed disjointed which contributed to a "continuity lacking appearing" story line. One moment something is taking place, and then before you know it, something else has occurred and you're wondering, "how did we get here?" Not that more back story was needed, but rather, more cohesion. It struck me that they (producers, script writers, etc.) were trying to capitalize on the "esoteric theme" like structure of "Arrival." They failed. However, I'm going to watch it again to give it another chance.
