It starts with a linguist who helps the nation figure out the purpose of the aliens' arrival along with a physicist using language.

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2017)

I rate this movie 10 out 10 not just because this movie is not the typical 'aliens come to attack Earth' kind of sci-fi movie. It is also because the entire movie surrounds The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which is what I am currently learning in college.It helped me deepen my understanding on the importance of language and how language influences our mind, moral, emotion and spirituality. Many may see this as quite an astounding sci-fi movie with a unique plot, outstanding cast, cool CG, and eye-catching visuals. For me, it is so much more than that in terms of linguistics and language. I hope my review could somehow give an eye-opener to fellow moviegoers or sci-fi fans. Again, Arrival is a truly amazing movie.
