It had everything it needed to succeed, but the execution of its story will definitely turn people off.

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2017)

There wasn't much that I disliked about this film. The build up from the first two acts quickly dies off as soon as confusion sets in with the third act, and that is what honestly led to the rating I decided to give this film. In the end, I gave Arrival a "Good" on theVade Review Bar or a 7 out of 10. It had everything it needed to succeed, but the execution of its story will definitely turn off people wanting to truly understand this film. Ultimately, Arrival came in as one of the most interesting films of 2016, but will not be staying in people's minds for very long.
